4-H is a national organization which helps young people develop life-long knowledge and skills to become engaged citizens. Through 4-H, youth are also taught how to meet the diversities and challenges of today’s society by bringing together youth and adults to design programs that will teach skills for living. 4-H is truly a model of the “learning by doing” teaching concept. It reaches people in their own communities with delivery methods suitable to their needs. 4-H also helps to provide opportunities for families and communities to develop stronger bonds.
So, come see what Shelby County 4-H has to offer your child on November 9th. If you have any questions regarding 4-H programs or registration contact the Shelby County Extension Office at 936-598-7744, Lane Dunn, M.S., Ag/NR Agent and Jheri-Lynn McSwain, M.Ed., M.S, FCS Agent.
