National 4-H Week: Inspire Kids to Do! Oct 7-13
Help celebrate this year’s National 4-H Week, Oct 7-13, by joining the movement to “INSPIRE KIDS TO DO!” Since 1968, National 4-H Week has been held the first full week of October. National 4-H Week is a chance to raise awareness of 4-H, enroll more young people, and recruit more volunteers. Now is the time for clubs and 4-H councils to discuss and make plans for local efforts to promote and celebrate National 4-H week as well as National Youth Science Day and 48 Hours of 4-H (Oct 13 & 14).
New from National 4-H Council in 2018!
- Tuesday, October 9 will be Spirit Day. We know that a lot of you already encourage your 4-H'ers to wear a clover to school and that's what this day will be...an opportunity for members, parents, and volunteers to show their clover pride by wearing a 4-H t-shirt to school/work.
- 30 Days of Doing will celebrate kids who are doing great things all across the country, for the entire month of September. We are going to celebrate kids, both 4-H and not 4-H, who “do” things a with purpose across the nation through fun tools, tips, resources and stories for moms and kids.
- You will also see a photo contest and major social media engagement. The photo contest is part of 30 Days of Giving where your 5-17 year olds can win a $10,000 scholarship and a $10,000 honorarium for their state.
Resources to help local units, volunteers and community clubs celebrate National 4-H Week can be found here. Items such as flyers, news release templates, FB cover photos, etc have already been posted. Additional items will continue to be added, so check back often.
