Collegiate 4-H has a place for everyone

It is the oldest student organization on the Oklahoma State University campus. Collegiate 4-H was established at what was then Oklahoma A&M College in 1916. Not only that, this club also was the first ever Collegiate 4-H club established in the country – so its roots are deep and strong.
Collegiate 4-H is a student organization involved in community service, promoting 4-H, encouraging citizenship, developing leaders and assisting 4-H clubs around the state.

The Warrior Project in Choctaw |
|
Choctaw 4-H was able to get over $300 in sponsorships for The Warrior Project, a care package project for cancer patients. We think this is pretty awesome because we did this with only seven members in a few weeks! At our December meeting, we began to plan for our 2021 meetings, and we ended our meeting by playing oven mitt unwrap.

Noah Davis from Harrah 4-H Club continued his Operation Adventure project this year by partnering with the Del City Police Department's Shop with a Cop event. Children from low income backgrounds partner with an officer to pick out Christmas gifts. Noah gets donations to provide them with a tent and other camping gear as well as a turkey for Christmas dinner. It is always exciting to see community partners working together for good! Other 4-H Clubs also joined in to help wrap presents! |

On December 5th, Metro North 4-H Club met outside the OSU Extension office. We played a Christmas game where we threw green yarn in a circle and told what we loved about Christmas. We had a short lesson about photography and then took pictures using our phones and Christmas props. We used the pictures to make Christmas Cards for Veterans.
