Morrow County 4-H helps build character
Raising
children
to become decent and
responsible adults is a
complex and challenging job
that is becoming 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

but in 1992, the Josephson
Institute of Ethics with the help
of scholars, parents, youth
workers, and others published
the Aspen Declaration. This
Declaration has become the
cornerstone for the character
development
education
programs in the United States.
The Aspen Declaration states:
The next generation will
be the stewards of the world.
The well being of
society needs citizens with
good character.
People
do
not
automatically develop good
moral character. Children
must be taught so that they
develop the values and
abilities necessary for moral
decision making and conduct.
Character education
is based on core ethical
values - pillars of
character development
trustworthiness, respect for
others, responsibility, fairness,
caring, and citizenship.
These core values
transcend cultural, religious,
and
socio-economic
differences.
Although
character
education is first and foremost
an obligation of faith
communities, the community
in general, schools, and
youth and family serving
organizations are also
responsible.
Youth have a better
chance of learning moral
values if all groups work
together to teach and reinforce
moral values.
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 similar guidelines
for the past 102 years.
