4-H -- Making the Best Better

4-H is the largest youth-serving organization in the world. In Idaho, membership is open to all youth ages 5 to 19 who meet certain membership guidelines. Members between the ages of 5 to 8 (second grade) are in a noncompetitive program called Cloverbuds. Youth from 8 (third grade) to 18 years (or still in high school) can compete for various awards in the traditional 4-H program. All 50 states and more than 80 countries world-wide have 4-H programs. People of all ages participate in 4-H, from pre-schoolers to grandparents. The list of 4-H projects is so varied that every 4-H member and adult volunteer is sure to be able to find something of interest.

What's Happening in 4-H
	See what the kids have to say!!

KYG is a program for 4-H members to learn how the government works. They have mock trials and hearings to show how a bill gets passed. It is a fun hands-on learning experience. You meet a lot of new friends and get to spend time with old ones. You also get to meet the representatives from your county and eat breakfast with them. All together it is a 3-day trip that is a lot of fun. You will want to go the next year.            Derrick
