| National 4-H Week - October 7 - 13
There will be several national events during 4-H week. On October 9, twelve 4-H and FFA members and adult mentors will be honored at the White House as community "Champions of Change." The next day, 4-H members and youth across the country will participate in the annual 4-H National Youth Science Day "Ecobot Challenge." The week's celebrations will be capped by the induction of 16 volunteers, staff and donors into the National 4-H Hall of Fame. 4-H reaches over 6 million American youth annually, focusing on research based learning to promote life skills, science and citizenship. For 110 years, 4-H has connected the innovations of land-grant universities to local youth and families. 4-H National Headquarters at NIFA, USDA provides programmatic leadership for the U.S. 4-H Youth Development program. 4-H programs are offered in every county in the U.S. To learn how to become a 4-H member or volunteer leader contact the 4-H staff at your local Cooperative Extension office. |
