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. T hese core v alu es
tran scen d
c u ltu ra l,
relig io u s, and so cio
economic differences.

6. 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.
You can see, that
although this Declaration
was only developed in 1992,
4-H, as the youth program of
the land-grant Universities
(Oregon State University)
has been using sim ilar
guidelines for the past 75
years!
