The Worth County 4-H program is gearing up for a new year. The county's annual
recognition night will be held on Sunday, September 30 at 4 p.m. at the skating
rink in Grant City. Members will be honored for their achievements over the
past 4-H year. Anyone wishing to join 4-H for the upcoming year is welcome to
attend.
4-H is a community of young people across America learning
leadership, citizenship and life skills. 4-H is young people making new friends
and memories while preparing to be leaders of today and tomorrow. It is a
volunteer-led organization that reaches boys and girls through small groups
called clubs and through classrooms, in some cases. 4-H members choose from over
40 projects in which to participate during the 4-H calendar year. Most projects
use hands-on learning experiences to teach subject matter and life-skills such
as cooperation, leadership, and decision-making — skills that can be applied
over and over for a lifetime.
A 4-H Club may include any or all of these
elements: a business meeting, a program, activities, recreation and
refreshments. Clubs elect officers and often develop committees. An integral
part of 4-H Clubs are projects. Participation is the key in 4-H. The more that
you do, the more you will get out of it and the more friends you will be able to
make. There are so many different activities — something for everyone!
