National
4-H Week
National 4-H Week is an annual observance usually held during the
FIRST FULL WEEK OF OCTOBER. It usually begins the
first Sunday and runs through the next Saturday.
Purpose:
During National 4-H Week, appropriate activities are arranged nationally
and in each state, county and most local communities. A major aim is to
enlarge the "image" so that the public realizes opportunities
for youth available through 4-H youth development programs.
Objectives:
- Encourage more youth to take advantage of 4-H opportunities.
- Encourage more adults to volunteer as 4-H local leaders and by doing
so, to enrich their own lives besides serving youth.
- Acquaint the public with today's 4-H program that adapts to meet
the needs of today's youth.
- Recognize the important contribution of parents to 4-H and influence
their continued cooperation.
- Acknowledge the support of 4-H friends, partners and donors and express
appreciation to them.
- Report accomplishments of the past year and consider future needs
and plans.
