Morrow County 4-H Helps Build Character Raising children to becom e d ecen t and re sp o n sib le a d u lts is a com plex and challenging jo b th a t is becom ing increasingly difficult in our society. To be a person of good character, youth must develop strengths of the 4 “H ’s” : head - they must know what is good; heart - they must desire to do the good; hands - they must be w illing to do good; and health - they must develop a lifestyle that supports the desire and willingness to do good. The Morrow County 4-H program striv es to develop good character in 4- H members. Qualities that define good character have been debated by various groups but in 1992, the Josephson Institute of Ethics with the help o f scholars, parents, youth workers, and others p u b lish ed the A spen D ecla ra tio n . This Declaration has become the cornerstone for the character d ev elo p m en t ed u catio n p ro g ram s in the U nited States. The A spen Declaration states: HEPPNER HEATING, INC. 1. The next generation will be the stewards of the world. 2. The w ell being o f society needs citizens with good character. 3. P eople do not automatically develop good moral character. Children must be taught so that they develop the values and a b ilitie s n ecessary fo r m oral d ecisio n m aking and conduct. 4. Character education is based on core ethical valu es - p illa rs o f character development - trustworthiness, respect for others, responsibility, fairn ess, carin g , and citizenship. 5.

A lth o u g h c h arac te r education is first and foremost an obligation o f faith com m unities, the com m unity in general, schools, and youth and family serving organizations are also responsible. 7. Youth have a b e tte r chance of learning moral values if all groups work together to teach and reinforce moral values. 8. Every adult must take responsibility to model and teach the pillars of character development.
