Clubs recognize National 4-H Week

Every year, National 4-H Week sees millions of youth, parents, volunteers and alumni come together to celebrate the many positive youth development opportunities offered by 4-H. The theme for this year’s National 4-H Week, FindYourSpark, is a campaign that was created by National 4-H Council to rally support for 4-H and identify solutions to eliminate the opportunity gap that affects 55 million kids across America.

Sanders County 4-H will observe National 4-H Week this year by highlighting some of the inspirational 4-H youth in our community who are working tirelessly to support each other and their communities.

The local 4-H clubs will sponsor an open house on Sunday, October 17, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Community Congregational Church in Thompson Falls.

“In 4-H, if you can dream it, you can do it! 4-H offers more than 200 different project and learning experiences that actively engage youth while having fun. 4-H offers you a wide range of choices and opportunities to learn and grow,” said Juli Thurston, Sanders County 4-H Extension Agent.

In Sanders County, more than 130 4-H youth and 50 volunteers from the community are involved in 4-H. To join or learn more about 4-H in Sanders County, contact the local Extension Office at 827-6934 or go to anders.msuextension.org/4h.html.
