National 4-H Week
October 7-13 is National 4-H Week, and Alleghany County is celebrating
the 4-H youth who have made an impact on the community, and are stepping up to
the challenges of a complex and changing world.
Recent
findings from Tufts University's 4-H
Study of Positive Youth Development indicate that young people in 4-H are
three times more likely to contribute to their communities than youth not
participating in 4-H. Notably, the Tufts research discovered that the
structured learning, encouragement and adult mentoring that 4-H'ers receive
play a vital role in helping them actively contribute to their communities.
4-H
youth are a living breathing, culture-changing revolution for doing the right
thing, breaking through obstacles and pushing our country forward by making a
measurable difference right where they live. Learn how you can Join the Revolution of Responsibility at
4-H.org/revolution, or contact Amy Lucas at Alleghany Cooperative Extension at 336-372-5597
