Head, Heart, Hands and Health. These are the four H’s all 4-H-ers strive to represent. But what does it mean to embody the four H’s? Head: 4-H allows youth to take the lead , with the help of adults, in thinking, learning and making decisions. This helps develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Heart: 4-H helps youth build strong relationship with peers and adults based on accepting responsibility and developing values. 4-H-ers lead with self-discipline, integrity and communication.
Hands: 4-H gives youth the opportunity to learn by doing through their talents and skills making their communities a better place to live and grow. 4-H-ers learn to serve others.
Health: 4-H helps youth make healthy choices to keep them physically and mentally able to do what they need to at school, home and in their communities.
4-H offers this for all ages. From the Clover Buds, age 5-7 and on up. You can find out what 4-H can do for you and your children. Contact the local K-State Extension Office nearest you for more.
