4-H invites youth to month long celebration

Every year, Nebraska 4-H Month brings thousands of young people, parents, volunteers, and alumni together to celebrate all the ways in which 4-H helps youth find a place where they belong. Across the state, Nebraska 4-H invites community members to celebrate: 

•4-H Spirit Day on Tuesday, Feb. 7. 

•Weekend of 4-H Service on Saturday, Feb. 11 and Sunday, Feb. 12. 

•4-H Volunteer Appreciation Day on Tuesday, Feb. 14.

•4-H Professional Appreciation Day on Tuesday, Feb. 28. 

In addition to celebrating, youth are invited to join 4-H and complete the annual enrollment process during February. By becoming enrolled members, youth have the opportunity to join a club, exhibit projects at the county and State Fair, participate in contests, and apply for special awards and recognition. 

 4-H is Nebraska’s largest youth development organization – empowering nearly 140,000 across the state with the skills to lead for a lifetime. With the support of 12,000 volunteers, Nebraska 4-H helps youth develop and practice life skills through clubs, camps, school enrichment, afterschool, and special interest programs.
