Annual Subscription rates: Within U.S.: $20.00 The Oregon State Uni- versity Extension 4-H program in Warm Springs has expanded over the past year. Tracy Wilson changed positions to become As- sistant Professor of 4-H Youth Development and Community Food Sys- tems. Sara Olson also changed positions and is now the 4-H program as- sistant. John Brunoe re- mains the program coor- dinator for 4-H garden education. What is 4-H? Over 100 years ago, 4-H began as a way for new agricul- tural developments to be shared with young people in rural communities, en- suring all Americans have the opportunity to benefit from the research con- ducted by their public universities. Building com- munity clubs to help solve agricultural challenges was a first step toward youth learning more about the industries in their community. Today, Oregon 4- H continues this legacy by creating educational op- portunities for kids across Oregon. Oregon State University is one of only three land, sea, space and sun grant universities in the United States. So to- day, Oregon 4-H’ers can learn about agriculture, animal science, rocketry, robotics, entomology, honey bees, forestry, art, conservation, and more. We believe everybody de- serves access to an edu- cation that transforms their lives. Many people are famil- iar with 4-H’s project-based clubs, where kids get to- gether with others in their community and learn about specific things they’re inter- ested in, like raising dairy goats or backyard chickens. Youth can also join a Community Club, where they can get to know 4- H explore different projects that spark their interest. These are especially fun for Cloverbuds (4-H’ers ages 5- 8). Cloverbuds aren’t old enough to work with large animals or compete on their own, but there are plenty of ways they can learn and get involved. The new 4-H year starts each year on October 1, but youth can join anytime by finding a local club that is accepting new members. Reach out to the War m Springs Extension office for more information and to be connected with local club leaders. Since the beginning of the 2023-24 school year, the 4-H program has been able to offer after school pro- gramming to all grade lev- els at the Warm Springs K8 Academy. These classes fo- cused on building skills like cooking and kitchen safety, teamwork, fishing, water safety, gardening, arts and crafts, and more. Two clubs have formed from these afterschool les- sons. Culture Club focuses on making cultural items and the Fishing Club which focuses on teaching youth water safety and sustain- able fishing practices. Both clubs are led by community volunteers. Moving into summer, 4- H will be at the weekly Thursday Markets with fun kids’ activities and infor- mation on our programs. Stop by and say hello! The 4-H program fo- cuses on positive youth development and relies on community volunteers to lead clubs.
