What is 4-H?
What is 4-H?- Fnends, fun,
learning about nature, cooking,
growing plants, photography,
animal care or working together
to help others.
Who can belong to 4-H? -
Anyone kindergarten through
12th grade - You'll find 4-H
throughout your county, state,
country, the world. In Morrow
County there are over 300
members.
Look what yon can do in 4-H?
- Members are enrolled in animal
science, natural science, home
economics and expressive-arts
project areas.
What do you do in 4-H? - It
depends on you. Everybody may
be a friend in the same grade or
av.wvl, or include people from
other communities. Clubs decide
how often to meet and elect
officers to conduct club busmess.
Your club may decide to be
active in the community, raise
money for chanty, become
involved in recycling projects or
build nature trails. You can go
on field tnps or to 4-H camp.
The choices grow as you get
older.
Does 4-H cost a lot? - There
are no state or national dues or a
required uniform. You pay $3.50
per year for printed matenals and
information and for project
matenals.
A horse can be
expensive, but not a beginning
home economics project. Your
4-H club may decide to collect
dues to fund special activities.
How do you join 4-H? - It's
easy. Choose the project you
like.
Ask some fnends or
brothers and sisters to join you.
Ask parents, grandparents, adult
fnends or neighborhood adults to
be your leader. Several adults
can share this responsibility.
You need only two members, but
you can have as many as you
like. Determine the projects
members want and visit the
Extension office or call an agent
for help. There are numerous
active clubs that welcome new
members.
4-H is Learning Today,
Leading
Tomorrow
and
"learning by doing" - Learning
how to set goals and work toward
those goals; responsibility —for
an animal, finishing projects.
