HARTINGTON — National 4-H Week IS Oct. 7-12. In an effort to celebrate National 4-H Week, Nebraska 4-H is building a ready generation in a world of change.
Today’s youth are growing up in a unique moment in time where the world is rapidly changing. Locally in Cedar County, we are equipping our youth with skills for the future while meeting them where they are today. Nebraska Extension in Cedar County annually reaches over 1,000 youth in Cedar County through school enrichment programming, library programming and our traditional 4-H programs. Our volunteers in Cedar County help us to reach youth where they are. 4-H volunteers are the backbone of the 4-H program and we are incredibly grateful for all they do to promote 4-H and help create positive experiences for our youth.
Since its beginning more than 120 years ago, 4-H has become the nation’s largest youth development organization. Nationally, 4-H serves over six million youth, ages 5-19, in rural, urban and suburban communities in every state across the nation. In Nebraska, 4-H reaches one out of three who are age-eligible. Young people need positive youth development experiences morenow than ever.
This year during National 4-H Week, visit cedar.unl.edu or go to 4h.unl.edu to see how you can help Nebraska 4-H build a ready generation in a world of change, so more youth can take on the world.
