4-H Youth Development
GRANT COUNTY
What do the H's in 4-H stand for?
HEAD
4-H challenges you to think and make decisions, both for yourself and as a member of a group. You will discover new ways to do things and different ways of dealing with everyday challenges. 4-H is big on self-discipline, responsibility, initative, and leadership. You will become a positive force in today's world.
HANDS
In 4-H, you learn skills that you can use for the rest of your life. You won't just talk about it, you will actually get your hands on it -- learn by doing! Members choose from about 100 different skills. 4-H often helps members discover interests that lead to rewarding careers.
HEART
It can be tough growing up today. To sort out their ideas and emotions, 4-H members often talk to club leaders and to each other about what matters to them.
4-H gives you a chance to become friends with other young people and caring adults. It is about building character, accepting people who are different, and making your community a better place to live.
HEALTH
Being healthy means feeling good; doing your best to balance school, friends, and family; and making the best choices. 4-H focuses on developing healthy lifestyles and understanding what happens when you make unhealthy choices.
If you are between the ages of 9 and 19, you can get involved in 4-H by calling the Grant County Extension Office at 859-824-3355 and talking with your 4-H Agent. Under 9 years old please ask about the Cloverbud program.
