What Is 4-H All About?

4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship and life skills. 4-H is about having fun, learning, exploring and discovering. In 4-H, young people make new friends, develop new skills, become leaders and help shape their communities.

More than 65,000 Texas youth are enrolled members of 4-H community clubs in Texas. Another 850,000 Texas youth get involved in 4-H through special educational opportunities at school, in after school programs, or at neighborhood or youth centers. These youth live in cities, suburbs, small towns and rural communities.

4-H gives them a chance to pursue their own interests – from photography to computers, from building rockets to raising sheep. A list of 4-H projects is available online. They go places – to camp, to state and national conferences. They learn to be leaders and active citizens.

In 4-H clubs, they serve as officers and learn to conduct meetings, handle club funds, and facilitate group decision-making. In a growing number of communities, 4-H youth serve as youth representatives in municipal or county government or as members of Teen Courts. They give back to their communities. 4-H members get involved in volunteer projects to protect the environment, mentor younger children and help people who are less fortunate.

 

4-H Age

The 4-H calendar year begins September 1st and concludes on August 31st of the following year.  The member’s age division for the entire 4-H year will be determined as of September 1st of the 4-H year.  Youth advancing grades mid-year will not be allowed to change membership divisions during that 4-H year.

    the contest runs all day Saturday. We will not have specific times until all entries are reviewed, approved and cross checked for conflicts of our other D-9 contests we are running that day. we will probably not have all of that squared way until April 18th or 19th or so.
