4-H's Supply Developmental Needs National 4-H Week is October 2-8, 2022. This year's theme is Opportunity4All, shining a light on access and equity for all youth. Young people have power, and 4-H believes that every young person has valuable strengths and real influence to improve our world. By: Tony Rose, Agent for 4-H Youth Development Adair County Extension Office In a recent column, we discussed what the H's (head, hands, heart and health) symbolize on our 4-H Youth Development emblem. Now, we're going to delve into this topic further by taking a look at some youth development traits these H's represent. Head represents mastery; hands, generosity; heart, belonging, and health, independence. Mastery: Learn by doing is a primary tenant of the 4-H Youth Development program. Youth can learn many things by choosing projects from among the hundreds and hundreds available. Often, working on 4-H project work supplements and enhances school subjects. It also might lead to hobbies, part-time jobs and possibly a career choice. As part of their 4-H educational experiences, members also take part in competitive activities at the county, area, state (including Kentucky State Fair) and national levels. 4-H camps provide another opportunity for members to learn more about their specific interests and develop new ones. These camps include theme-based (fine arts, health, natural resources and technology) and residential, day-long and overnight ones on a number of topics. Through 4-H Youth Development, members master a number of important skills including leadership, communications, citizenship, self-reliance, socialization and teamwork. (Other skills will be mentioned later in this article.) Generosity: 4-H Youth Development gives members opportunities to become capable, competent and caring citizens. They serve as catalysts for positive changes to meet the needs of a diverse and changing society. Based on their leadership experiences in 4-H, some youth seek state offices; others may serve on 4-H, other youth-related or community councils. Members also initiate and take part in service projects that benefit communities across Kentucky. As a result of their learning experiences in 4-H Youth Development, current and former members frequently become volunteers for local programs or donate expertise for special interest clubs. These clubs include Afterschool, shooting sports, horse, sewing, and photography, among others. Belonging: Membership in a 4-H Youth Development program creates an extended family. It gives members opportunities to interact in Kentucky and elsewhere with diverse groups of youth and teenage and adult volunteers. These associations with other youth and adults provide many valuable experiences. Members often develop lifelong friendships with other youth and volunteers through 4-H Youth Development programs. Independence: 4-H members learn a number of qualities that help them develop into self-starting, independent-thinking citizens who make significant contributions to their communities, both by example and by doing. These traits include responsibility, self-discipline, tenaciousness, persistence, research tactics, making decisions, logical thinking, and setting and achieving short-and long-term goals. Many 4-Hers gain more self-esteem through their participation and achievements in the 4-H Youth Development program. Both our youth and communities gain many benefits from the Adair County 4-H Youth Development program.
