LAUDERDALE 4H

Use your HEAD to think, make decisions, understand "why," and to gain new and valuable knowledge in many areas.

 The HEART involves concern with the welfare of others, accepting responsibilities of citizenship, determining values and attitudes, and learning how to work and live with others at home, in your community,
state, nation, and the world.

Use your HANDS to learn new skills, to perfect skills you already know, develop pride and respect for your work, and to explore possible vocations and careers.

What is 4H? 4-H is an informal, practical learn-by-doing educational program for youth aged 5 to 19, from rural and urban areas, and from all racial, cultural, economic, and social backgrounds.  4-H helps you set goals, and it can help you learn how to be a good citizen.  And you have fun in the process!  in 4-H you learn to solve problems facing you and your community.  The knowledge and skills you acquire in 4-H can open the door to a lifetime of personal growth.  4-H is the youth program of the Cooperative Extension Service of Mississippi State University.

What is the meaning of the 4-H Emblem? The 4-H emblem is a four-leaf clover with an "H" on each leaf.  The letters in the emblem stand for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health.

The 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 county, and my world.
