Clubs
The flagship of 4-H is the traditional club program where youth receive guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on leadership roles. Clubs have regular meetings and most clubs work on a variety of projects together. Independent members learn at their own pace with their family.
4-H at Fair
Most 4-H youth choose to showcase their completed 4-H projects at the county fair. The Hall County Fair takes place in July at the Nebraska State Fairgrounds in Grand Island, Nebraska.
School Opportunities
Hall County schools have integrated 4-H School Enrichment programs in their classrooms. These programs meet Grand Island Public Schools, Nebraska State and/or national education standards.
Afterschool/Out-of-School
Hall County 4-H increases the quality and quantity of out-of-school programs by combining 4-H resources with community-based organizations and offering high-quality education and development experiences.
4-H Pledge
I pledge my head to clearer thinking,
My heart to greater loyalty,
My hands to larger service,
and my health to better living,
for my club, my community, my country, and my world.
"4-H empowers youth to reach their full potential, working and learning in partnership with caring adults. The phrase “Learning by Doing” sums up the educational philosophy of the 4-H program. Young people learn best when they are involved in their learning."
