National 4-H Day of Service
|
4-H members have always been proud of the communities they call home. Whether they live in cities, towns, or rural areas, 4-H members strive to make their communities better year-round. True Leaders in Service, a month-long community service activation, officially kick-offs the first day of April, and culminates with the National 4-H Day of Service on the last Saturday, April 28.
The goal is for thousands of 4-H'ers to venture out into their communities throughout the month of April to do what 4-H members do best: lead in service to tackle community challenges and help meet the needs of others. These community service projects can be done as individuals, as an entire county 4-H program, or anything in between. No matter the project, this is a day that will make a difference!
