2012 Nebraska 4-H MonthCelebrate 2012 Nebraska 4-H Month in February!

(February 1, 2012) The month of February is Nebraska 4-H Month, and counties across the state are 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.

Learn how you can Join the Revolution of Responsibility!  Contact your local University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension Office to explore 4-H opportunities in your community!
