Recognition
Working with Youth
CLUB RECOGNITION
The goal of 4-H clubs is to develop enthusiastic young people who boldly take action to demonstrate life skills as capable, caring, confident, competent kids of character thus contributing to the improvement of themselves, their family, their club, their community, and their world. Nebraska 4-H and the Nebraska 4-H Foundation offer two primary recognition programs to celebrate outstanding 4-H clubs across the state.
