2024 National 4-H Week October 7 – 12

National 4-H Week

Now is the time of year for youth to join and participate in 4-H, the youth development program of Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.

Dallas County will celebrate all things 4-H during National 4-H Week October 1-7.

4-H is active in each of Iowa’s 99 counties and empowers youth to reach their full potential through various experiences, including photography, music, woodworking, sewing, archery, livestock, and horticulture.

By being involved in 4-H, youth have fun while gaining valuable skills in communication and the arts, citizenship and leadership, science, technology, engineering, and math, as well as healthyonal life management living and pers.

“As National 4-H Week approaches it is important to remember the 4-H pledge, which is recited at nearly every 4-H club meeting, and what it teaches. ‘I pledge my Head to clearer thinking, my Heart to greater loyalty, my Hands to larger service, and my Health to better living, for my club, my community, my country, and my world,’” Aleta Cochran, Dallas County Youth Coordinator said.  

4-H grows confidence, creativity, curiosity, courage, character, and much more in youth. 4-H allows youth to use the skills that they learn to go out and make a positive difference in their communities.
