For over 100 years, 4‑H has inspired families, shaped careers, and impacted communities. October 2nd - 8th, celebrate the impact of 4‑H during National 4‑H Week. Here are some ways you can celebrate 4‑H!
Give Back
Local programs are always looking for resources to continue growing the programs. Help local programs thrive by making a helpful donation of time or treasure.
Wear Your 4‑H Gear
Nothing says 4‑H pride like a 4‑H tee! Dress yourself (or the entire family – pets included!) in 4‑H green and clover gear.
Set Up Information Booths
If your local grocery or hardware store allows, set up a table to share information about your local 4‑H program. You can display 4‑H posters, hand out flyers, or showcase the work of local 4‑H’ers.
Shout-Out a 4‑H’er
Kids love 4‑H. They enjoy the time they spend with 4‑H friends, look forward to their next 4‑H meeting, and plan all year to show off what they’ve learned. Recognize the hard work and dedication of 4‑H’ers by shouting out one or an entire club on social media.
Storefront Displays
In some communities, you can ask local businesses to display 4‑H posters. Many may be willing to dedicate their entire storefront to 4‑H signs, memorabilia, and décor for the week.
Share Your 4‑H Story
Take to social media to share a 4‑H memory, express how 4‑H shaped who you are today, describe what 4‑H means to you, post an old 4‑H photo, or shout-out your 4‑H club. Use and follow the hashtag #InspireKidstoDo, share your story, or read stories similar to yours.
Send a 4‑H ‘Thank You’
We all have a reason to thank our local 4‑H leaders. Whether you grew up in 4‑H, you have kids in 4‑H, or you’ve witnessed the positive work of 4‑H in your community, send a ‘thank you’ note to your local Extension/4-H office to show your appreciation.
