Let’s Celebrate

National 4-H Week

Contact: Kim Foster,

Extension Specialist for 4-H Youth Development

During the week of October 5-11, 4-H members and volunteers across Kentucky will celebrate the many facets of 4-H with various events and activities in honor of National 4-H Week.

The Kentucky 4-H program, the largest youth organization in the state, creates an environment for positive youth development. With more than 22,000 volunteers, the program gives hundreds of thousands of young Kentuckians the opportunity to form a sense of belonging with peers who may share similar interests. 4-H members are encouraged to learn independence and generosity while working toward their goals. They are provided safe environments to work in, positive role models to look up to and numerous leadership opportunities. Kentucky 4-H helps guide youth in the life skills that they find interesting and is a rewarding experience for those involved.

Gov. Steve Beshear signed a proclamation October 1 in Frankfort declaring National 4-H Week October 5-11.

During National 4-H Week, join Clinton County in the celebration by coming to the 2S Second Sunday event on Sunday, October 12th from 1:00-3:00 p.m. at the Clinton County Learning Center and Early Childhood Center. Second Sunday will be held in conjunction with the Foothills Festival gospel singing and will feature walking trails, physical activities, health information, blood pressure checks, and inflatables. The Early Childhood Council will also be sponsoring a Play and Learn (PAL) event with hands-on learning activities for children up to age eight.
