Las Cruces City Council recognized National 4-H Week (October 4- 10, 2026) at this afternoon’s City Council Meeting and presented local members with a Proclamation.

The 2026 National 4-H Week theme, “Beyond Ready,” reminds us that 4-H is building a ready generation in a world of change and equips young people with skills for the future while meeting them where they are today.

Happy National 4-H Week!!

It's National 4-H Week! We're celebrating the 385 youth and 121 volunteers in Doña Ana County who are learning, leading, and making a difference in our communities. 4-H helps young people build confidence, leadership skills, and real-world experiences that prepare them for whatever comes next. Thank you to our local 4-H members, families, volunteers, educators, and community partners for helping the next generation learn, grow, and thrive!
