2023-2024 Kansas

4-H Program Fee Waivers

The 4-H Program Fee is $15/ member. Waivers are intended for those who need financial assistance.

While waivers have always been reviewed and granted no matter the need identified, these requests will be reviewed and will be based on financial need.

Kansas 4-H/FFA Dual Enrollment

4-H Youth Development and Agriculture Education/FFA promote teaching youth life skills. Both programs exist to maximize the participants’ knowledge of agriculture and its value to our communities while educating the young people to become productive citizens. Eligible youth may participate in both 4-H and FFA but shall avoid duplication. Therefore, the following principles are required to be used in delivering the 4-H and FFA programs in Kansas as we strive to educate youth.

• When young people are members of both 4-H and FFA, they shall plan and manage separate projects, and/or supervised agriculture experiences (SAE) programs.
• FFA and 4-H members may enroll in the same area of experience in 4-H and FFA, however; participants cannot identify, nominate, manage, keep records on, or exhibit the same plants, animals, etc. in both organizations. Members must designate exhibits as either FFA or 4-H at weigh-in, registration or similar deadline.
• Members may participate in judging contests and related events in FFA and 4-H but cannot represent both organizations at a contest, show or event at the same time.

QPR - Question, Persuade, & Refer

Saturday, October 28, 2023

at Prairie View Middle School.

9am - 10:30am

Please RSVP to 913-294-4306

Question, Persuade, and Refer (QPR) is an evidence-based suicide-prevention training designed to educate people from all walks of life on how to recognize the warning signs of suicide. 

QPR training helps people get comfortable asking the question "Are you thinking about suicide?" and then helping others get appropriate help. 

Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade and refer someone to help.
