4-H: The American Idea
Creating Greater Opportunity for Youth
• Learning By Doing• Leading By Example• Access to 105 State Land-Grant
Universities • 7 Million Youth partnering with 3,500
professional educators and 640,000 volunteer leaders
• Over 100 Years of Reaching Youth
14
I pledge my head to clearer thinking…
Youth need to know that they are able to
Influence people and events through
decision-making and action.
INDEPENDENCE
15
I pledge my heart to greater loyalty…
Current research emphasizes theimportance for youth to have opportunities for
long-term consistent relationships with adults other than parents.
This research suggests that belonging may be the single most powerful positive ingredient we can add into the lives of youth.
BELONGING
16
I pledge my hands to larger service…
Youth need to feel their lives have meaning and purpose.
• By participating in 4-H community service and citizenship activities, youth can connect to communities and learn to give back to others.
GENEROSITY
17
I pledge my health to better living…
In order to develop self-confidence youth
need to feel and believe they are capable
and they must experience success atsolving problems and meeting
challenges.
MASTERY
18
If you were to design a youth development program intended to assist young people to
become healthy, problem-solving constructive adults –
what would it look like?
19
What would it look like?• It would offer opportunities for
belonging • It would offer opportunities to
experience a “hands-on” laboratory • It would offer opportunities for young
people to choose • It would offer opportunities to
experience what it means to be a citizen
20
It would look a lot like 4-H
21
Florida 4-H Mission
Florida 4-H creates supportive environments for diverse youth and adults to reach their fullest potential.
22
“Tag” Message
