WHAT IS 4-H?

4-H is a volunteer led, family oriented, educational program.

4-H is for all youth and gives them the opportunity to "learn by doing".

4-H is kids having fun and learning with their friends.

WHAT IS THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF 4-H?

The basic philosophy in 4-H is to strengthen the mental, physical, moral and social development of boys and girls, therefore, helping develop more desirable citizens and leaders. The 4-H mission is to teach life skills to youth. They are: building a positive self concept; developing an inquiring mind; building a concern for the community; building healthy, interpersonal relationships; and developing sound decision making skills. The main objective is the development of boys and girls to their full potential through participation on projects, events and various activities.

4-H is intended to enhance the three primary educational institutions . . . namely the school, church and home.

WHY DO YOUTH ENJOY 4-H?

While all youth are different, they are also alike in many ways. Five inner
desires are shared by all youth:

1.	THEY WANT TO BELONG

2.	THEY WANT TO ACHIEVE

3.	THEY WANT TO BECOME INDEPENDENT

4.	THEY WANT EXPERIENCES AND ADVENTURE

5.	THEY WANT AFFECTION

The wide variety of "learn by doing" projects, activities, and events which make up the 4-H program contribute to meeting these needs. Decision making, individual responsibility, achievement and recognition further help to make 4-H satisfying.

4-H YEAR

A new 4-H year starts officially starts Nov. 1st each year and ends October 30th of the following year.

WHAT IS A 4-H CLUB?

A 4-H club is a group of boys and girls organized with officers appropriate to the group and with one or more leaders under the sponsorship of K-State Research & Extension Grant County.

The club is organized within a neighborhood, school, church, a business or social unit. The size of the club should be suitable to the age of these members, meeting place and
leadership available. This type of club is called a 4-H Community Club.

Most clubs hold a monthly meeting - normally the same week night each month.

*4-Her's must attend six 4-H Club meetings in order to show at the county fair.*

4-H MOTTO

"To Make The Best Better"

4-H EMBLEM

The 4-H emblem is the four-leaf clover with the letter "H" on each leaf. The
"H's" stands for Head, Heart, Health, and Hands.

4-H COLORS

The 4-H colors are green and white. Green symbolizes nature's most common color and represents life, spring-time, and youth. White symbolizes purity.

4-H PLEDGE

I pledge

My head to clearer thinking,

My heart to greater loyalty,

My hands to larger service, and

My health to better living for my club, my community, my country and my world.

AGE FOR MEMBERSHIP

4-H membership is open to all boys and girls that will turn 7 years old before January 1st and have not passed their 19th birthday by January 1st of the current 4-H year. Youth ages 5 & 6 by January 1st may join "Cloverbuds", a program where youth can learn about 4-H but may not participate in competitive events. (See Kansas 4-H Policy Guide)

4-H AGE

Some events require age limits. 4-H age is determined as of January 1 of the current 4-H year.

LOCAL CLUB LEVEL

4-H Member: Eligible youth who fill out an enrollment card and meet the requirements.

4-H Parents: Parents are important to the success a child will have in the 4-H program. Parents should attend monthly meetings and project meetings with their child. All county-wide events are open and parents are encouraged to attend.

Community Leader:	A volunteer who is responsible for the organizational part of the club.

Project Leader: A volunteer who organizes project meetings for a specific project. This person is often a 4-H parent who agrees to help with a project. It may also be a Junior Leader or a person from the community who has an interest in a particular subject matter area.

Assistant Project Leader: A 4-H member who takes an active part in helping the project leaders in the club. By doing this, they grow, mature, and learn leadership skills.

Club Officer: Each club has offices that are filled by youth in that club. These offices include: president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, reporter, historian, 4-H council representative, recreation, and song leader. Some clubs add other offices to involve more youth.

Parent's Committees: (Optional) Composed of 3-5 parents of members. Duties may include giving input into club program, recruit and orient leaders, and assist the club leader if needed.

COUNTY LEVEL

4-H Program Development Committee (PDC): This
group is an elected body of six people (elected at large).
They are responsible for the program direction on a county
wide basis. They implement and help carry out new policies and programs and suggest improvements.

Extension Agents:	They are the professionals who help carry out the 4-H PDC's objectives. The Extension Office is located at 1100 W. Patterson. The phone number is 620-356-1721.

4-H Council: This group is made up of youth and adult representatives from each of the community clubs. They are responsible for making decisions regarding county wide activities and events.

STATE LEVEL

Kansas State University: Kansas State is a land grant college, which has the responsibility for taking education to the people of the state and the 4-H program is part of that directive.

State Specialists: They are responsible for the 4-H program on a state wide basis. Each one has a specific part of the 4-H program. They are based at the KSU campus and Area Extension Offices.

Kansas 4-H Foundation: A non-profit organization provides additional resources for the 4-H program. They sponsor scholarships, funding for programs, and assist where needed.

Rock Springs 4-H Center: Rock Springs 4-H Center is a 735-acre, year-round camp, conference and retreat center nestled in the scenic Kansas Flint Hills near Junction City. It is owned and operated by the Kansas 4-H Foundation. It is funded by fees and the contributions of generous donors.

4-H members should take at least one project each year. Completing the records for that project is required to compete at the county fair and required to compete for county awards in the fall.

There are numerous projects to participate in. If there is something you are interested in but isn't listed as a formal project, you can enroll in the "Self Determined" project and complete work in that area.

The project leader will notify members about when and where the project meeting will be held. Project meetings are generally held from November through July. The number of project meetings varies from project to project and is generally left up to the project leader. 4-Her's must attend at least two project meetings unless excused. Youth should notify the leader if they won't be able to attend a meeting.

If there is no project leader, you can learn on your own. The extension office can help provide you with materials that can help you in your project experience if needed.

A member is expected to exhibit at the county fair in each project that they are enrolled in.

Projects provide the basis of the 4-H program by offering various educational experiences. Carrying out a project will help the member "LEARN TO DO BY DOING".

Project Selection

In choosing a project, a member will consult with their parents and 4-H leader(s). After considering all the projects available and the requirements of each, they should select one based on:

1.	Their interests, needs, and capabilities.

2.	Their family situation.

3.	Suitability of the area in which they live.

4.	What season of the year most of the activity in the project occurs.

5.	The number they can successfully complete.

Members enrolling for the first time are encouraged to take only 2 projects. As a member gains in knowledge and experience, the size of the project may increase and additional projects selected.

The Extension Office has a Project Guide which gives a brief explanation of each project. Members may also ask the project leader about the project and requirements for it.

Early in their 4-H career, a member should consider developing a tentative project plan to guide them. Projects should increase in size and complexity as youth advance in age and experience. In enrolling for additional projects, a 4-H member should try to include those projects which match their interests.

The project is the core of the 4-H member's experience. It is the center of many activities and experiences in which members should be encouraged to participate. The experienced member will find satisfaction in expanding their project work, in learning experiences of greater depth, in career or a vocational possibility. Each of these relates to the project the member selects.

4-H record books provide a valuable learning opportunity for 4-H members. *Completion is required to be eligible to exhibit at the county fair.* Member are strongly encouraged to resubmit their books at the end of the year for county project and achievement awards, but are not required to do so.

In their first year in 4-H, members will receive a green 4-H book cover. This cover will be kept as long as the member is in 4-H. Members may receive the 4-H record book forms from the club leaders, the extension office or you may download them directly from the Grant Co. website www.grant.ksu.edu. The basic parts of the record book are:

1.	Personal Page	-	This gives basic information about the 4-H
member. A new page needs to be completed each year.

2.	Permanent Record	-	This record is a summary of the years
activities and events. Several years will be compiled on one record.

3.	Kansas Awards Portfolio (KAP) - This is the project record that
members have to fill out for each project they are enrolled in if they want to be considered in and evaluated for County Champion.

4-H Book forms should be filled out as completely and accurately as possible. Parents may oversee the child's work, but the child should do their own writing.

*Youth are required to turn in 4-H record books to be eligible to show at the Grant County Fair. Books must be turned in to the Grant County Extension Office, and are exhibited at the fair.
