WHAT IS 4-H?
4-H is the largest youth organization in Minnesota, with over 1000 members in Dakota County alone. There are over 5 million 4-H members in the United States! The most common way for youth to get involved in 4-H is by joining a 4-H Club. Most clubs meet about once a month to plan activities, work on service projects, learn about new and interesting things, and have fun! Along with club meetings, members can participate at county, regional, state, national, and even international levels. WHAT DO THE FOUR 4-H’S STAND FOR?
The Four H’s stand for head, heart, hands and health. The 4-H pledge explains why. WHO CAN BE A 4-H MEMBER?
All youth from grade kindergarten to 1-year past high school can participate in 4-H. Kindergarten to 2nd grade can be part of the Cloverbud program, which is specially designed for younger members. As 4-H members enter junior high school and high school, they get a chance to take on leadership responsibilities in the program. DID YOU KNOW… that 4-H is not only for youth in rural areas? In fact, most 4-H members participate in project areas that do not involve crops and livestock! The REAL focus of the 4-H program is on learning and having fun! WHAT DO 4-H MEMBERS DO?
4-H offers activities for EVERYONE! Members can work with cameras, computers, arts & crafts, animals, plants, even bicycles. They can learn about health and family living issues affecting young people. They can practice their leadership, speaking or performing skills. Many go to camps or on national trips or travel to countries on 4-H exchange programs. Whoever you are, 4-H has something for YOU! WHO CAN BE A 4-H VOLUNTEER?
Anyone can register to be an adult volunteer that is at least age 18 and out of high school. Volunteers are the cornerstone that supports the positive development of Minnesota’s Youth. There are nearly 14,000 talented 4-H volunteers from across the state who are helping youth reach their full potential through their involvement in 4-H. Apply online today at: http://www.extension.umn.edu/youth/mn4-h/volunteer/ WHAT IS THE FAMILY’S ROLE IN 4-H?
Parents and other family members are an important part of the 4-H program and are always welcome at every 4-H activity. Volunteers, many of which are parents of 4-H members, are vital to the success of the 4-H program. HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?
It’s easy to join 4-H! Choose a 4-H Club & attend at least one meeting prior to joining. You want to make sure it is a good fit for both you and your family. Your club leader will be able to help you enroll online at: https://mn.4HOnline.com/
If you have any questions call Abby Wagner or Anja Johnson, 4-H Program Coordinators at 651-480-7700
