Did you know that 4H is a great way to experience God's world, grow and learn? This is not just for farm kids! There is a lot to 4H that you may not be aware of.
My sister and I were in various 4H clubs as kids and we had very good experiences. I just participated in the horses part, but my sister did cooking and horses and stuff. A lot of my character development came from the challenges I had in 4H!
From the website:
4-H helps young people learn and grow through a process that builds competence, confidence, connection, compassion, and character. By participating in 4-H, young people prepare themselves for economic and social success as adults while making positive contributions to their communities.
4-H programming is based on the theory and practice of positive youth development. In short, it based on a belief that positive outcomes for young people don’t happen by chance. Instead, it is up to parents, schools, youth organizations, and the entire community to help them learn and grow.
Positive youth development occurs best in settings that provide opportunities for mastery, independence, generosity, and belonging. That's why 4-H goes to great lengths to ensure that all 4-H experiences include these essential elements.
