University of Missouri
Extension's 4-H educational program empowers young people to reach
their full potential while working and learning in partnership with
caring adults. As one of the nation's largest youth organizations, 4-H
reaches youths, ages 8 to 18, in rural, urban and suburban settings,
helping them become competent, capable, caring and contributing members
of society. 4H Clubs in Platte County are family and community
based groups of boys and girls of all ages, who meet monthly to share
project talks, plan county and club events, and learn from each other.
In addition, there are dozens of county wide, regional, state, national
and international opportunities. For more info visit: http://extension.missouri.edu/Platte/4-h.shtml |
4-H is For: Youth
4-H club meetings, conducted by youth officers give opportunities to
learn and share project work, practice group and leadership skills and
have fun with members of all ages. 4-H is for all youth, regardless of
where they live. Most of the projects ‘work’ anywhere!
Families
4-H requires involved adults and volunteers; many are parents and
alumni. Families learn more about each other and participate in many 4-H
activities together
Communities
All 4-H clubs do many community service projects, often at every
meeting. Examples: adopting
a highway, volunteering for Parkville Animal Shelter, decorations and
kits for children, senior citizens, military, and group homes, planting
and maintaining demonstration rain garden in Camden Point, visits to nursing homes, hospitals, & agencies, working at
Nearly New Shop, a non profit thrift store as well as participating in
community parades and festivals. .
World
The 4-H pledge concludes with the words “my world”. 4-Hers pledge
their Head, Heart, Hands, and Health to clearer thinking, greater
loyalty, larger service, and better living for their club, community,
country and world. From
International Foods projects to the Kansas City 4-H Global Conference to
international exchange trips, 4-H connects to the world. |
