| New 4-H Families Welcome to 4-H! While you may have heard the 4-H pledge said at your club meetings, you may not be sure what the H’s stand for or why they’re meaningful. Below is a brief explanation of each H and why it’s important to the mission of 4-H.
If you don’t have the 4-H pledge memorized, it’s okay! If the pledge isn’t posted somewhere at your meeting location, suggest to your club officers that it be displayed. Need a review of the hand motions that go with the pledge? Watch the last ten seconds of this inspirational video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vJ5Ab-uTDk.
HEAD TO CLEARER THINKING: Youth are given opportunities to learn new things through projects and programs. Youth develop life skills of problem-solving, critical thinking, and learning to learn.
HEART TO GREATER LOYALTY: Youth are given the opportunity to develop positive relationships with adults and peers. Youth develop life skills of conflict resolution, accepting differences, and social skills
HANDS FOR LARGER SERVICE: Youth use their hands to give back to the community, country, and world. Youth develop life skills of teamwork, leadership, and volunteering.
HEALTH FOR BETTER LIVING: Youth learn how to live healthy and develop healthy habits. Youth develop life skills of stress management, self-esteem, and making healthy lifestyle choices.
