Have you considered enrolling your child in 4-H?
The 4-H Youth Development Program is the largest youth development organization. 4-H provides youth opportunities to improve their knowledge and skills (head, heart, health, and hands) and increase the quality of life they experience to help better their local communities. Youth grow and develop knowledge and life skills through a hands-on learning approach.
Here are 5 reasons you should enroll your children in the 4-H program:
1. It’s for the family.
4-H staff and club volunteers rely on parents to make 4-H programs successful. Parents who encourage their 4-H’er will give their youth a positive experience.
2. Your children will make friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.
The memories made throughout your time in 4-H, will be the foundation of your 4-H experiences. These experiences will vary based on your level of involvement with the 4-H program. The more you put into 4-H, the more you will get out.
3. The opportunities are endless!
There are many 4-H project areas that your children can choose from. The 4-H mission is to give young people opportunities and help them find their spark.
4. Your child will gain life skills that will help them become successful adults.
4-H’ers can carry these skills into adulthood which will make them more likely to succeed.
5. Most importantly, your children will have fun.
4-H teaches a lot of life skills but it will also teach you about yourself.
Is 4-H for you?
If you are interested in joining 4-H, contact the Extension Office.
