To be a person o f good character, youth must develop strengths o f the 4 “H’s”: head-they must know what is good; heart - they must desire to do the good; hands - they must be willing to do good; and health - they must d e v elo p a life sty le th at su p p o rts the d esire and willingness to do good. The Morrow County 4-H program striv e s to d ev elo p good character in 4-H members. Qualities that define good character have been debated by various groups, but in 1992, the Jo se p h so n Institute ofEthics, with the help o f scholars, parents, youth w o rk ers, and o th e rs, p u b lish e d the “ A spen Declaration”. This Declaration has become the cornerstone for the character development education programs in the United States. The A spen Declaration states: 1) The next generation will be the stewards of the world; 2) The well being o f society needs citizens with good character; 3) People do not automatically develop good m oral ch aracter. Children must be taught so that they develop the values and abilities necessary for moral decision making and conduct; COME VISIT US AT THE MORROW COUNTY FAIR 4) C haracter education is based on core ethical values- p illa rs of c h a ra c te r development, trustworthiness, re sp e c t fo r o th e rs, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship; 5) These core values transcend cultural, religious, and socio-economic differences; 6) A lthough character education is first and foremost an obligation of faith communities, the community in general, schools, and youth and fam ily serv in g o rg a n iz a tio n s are also responsible; 7) Youth have a better chance of learning moral values if all groups work together to teach and reinforce moral values; and 8) Every adult must take responsibility to model and teach the pillars o f character development. You can see, that although this Declaration was only developed in 1992,4-H, as the youth program o f the la n d -g ra n t U n iv e rsitie s (Oregon State University) has been using similar guidelines for the past 75 years.
