4-H Wants You!!!

         Over 100 years old, Kentucky 4-H Youth Development Education is a recognized community leader in educating youth to become better citizens.  

Morgan County 4-H, governed by a council of volunteers, serves every Morgan County School through enrichment activities and provides many after school events and clubs open to all Morgan County Youth.  Leadership is provided by the 4-H Agent  (Kim Cox) and important volunteers.

            What does each “H” in 4-H represent?

            HEAD. 4-H challenges youth to make decisions and think both individually and as a group member.  4-Hers are able to discover new ways of doing things and often learn different ways of dealing with everyday challenges.  Leadership, responsibility, self-discipline, and initiative are important components of the 4-H Program.  By becoming a 4-H member or volunteer, one can serve as a positive force in today’s world.

            HANDS.  4-H experiences will teach youth skills that will be used throughout the rest of life.  An important 4-H philosophy is to “learn by doing” as members become involved with a variety of hands-on activities.   Youth can choose from a set of nearly 100 different topics, ranging from bicycle safety to cooking to computer technology to veterinary science.  4-H experiences are great ways to help members discover interests that lead to satisfying, rewarding careers later in life.

            HEART.  Youth are exposed to many new friends, both among their peers and adult leaders.  4-H members are given the chance to work through ideas and emotions by talking to each other as well as club leaders and volunteers. 4-H focuses on building character, accepting differences in people, and making one’s community a better place to live. 

            HEALTH.  Feeling good is merely one aspect of being healthy.  Others aspects include doing ones best to develop a balance among school, friends and family, and making the best choices in life.  4-H focuses on developing healthy lifestyles and understanding what happens when unhealthy choices are made.

            How can I become involved in 4-H?

            Youth can be involved in 4-H in many ways.  The most fun of these ways is through involvement in a 4-H club or project.  Starting a 4-H club is really easy.  All that’s needed is a group of interested young people and a couple of adults to work with the youth. Clubs can meet in a variety of public places including schools, libraries, community centers, and even barns.

            Other ways to be involved in 4-H are as part of a school curriculum or through camp, special interest groups and after-school child-care programs.

            Self-study projects can also be completed at home with family members if working by oneself is appealing.

            For more information on becoming involved in 4-H programs and clubs contact the Morgan County Extension Office.
