responsible adults is a complex
and challenging job that is
becoming increasingly difficult
in our society. 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;

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.
