4-H

provides a different focus and different results. One of these programs is the 4-H Afterschool program. 4-H programs are nation-wide and can be offered through schools and clubs and are supported by universities in each area. 4-H offers four main after-school, in-school, or club programs based around science, citizenship, healthy living, and mentoring (“4-H Positive Youth Development”, n.d.).

This also puts away time for the child to envision taking a similar 4-H project to what the older children are displaying. Then, in the summer, these 4-H members go to the county fair and present these projects to judges, who critique their work and suggest areas for improvement.

Is it humane to show at the county fair? Is it worse that kids in 4-H are making money for showing off projects that are actually animals with their own rights to live free? It is not inhumane for kids to show and sell animals at the county fair because those kids are learning what farming is like in that aspect. They are also working with those animals for very long periods of time to get them to learn to do what the child wants them to do. The animals are also known as projects because the kids

My 4-H story starts at the Marshfield Fair. I used to visit the fair every year, and dreamed about having an animal like the “big kids”. Then, as I got older, I stopped visiting the fair. The idea slowly faded from my mind. Then, when I was in fifth grade, ne of my friends came in wearing a shirt that had the 4-H clover on it. When I asked her about it, she explained that 4-H members are the kids who bring the animals to the Marshfield Fair. I instantly knew that I wanted to join 4-H.So when I was

Throughout the past 5 years, I have taken on several leadership roles. I have taken on more responsibilities in 4-H and Kane County Ambassadors.

Ms. Newhouse English 101 section 61 9/16/14 A Discourse Community Have you ever been among people who are very much like you? That it does not matter what differences you have you all have a lot more in common. A member of 4-H constitutes a discourse community because of an agreed set of common public goals, level of membership, and something that provides information and feedback. An agreed set of public goals for our community is that as a whole group we do a lot of community

In order to take something to the fair, you need to enroll in 4-H. In 4-H, you have a club, mine is Kountry Kousins, and it’s kind of like a second family. Each project has a

The grounds have remained the same size, but the facilities have grown over the years to accommodate use by the local

life lessons that I apply everyday. Without the influence of my mom, I would not be as committed to dancing, finding opportunities through 4-H, and raising sheep. Through 4-H I have found my interest in livestock, and most importantly my passion for sheep. I credit this to my mom who signed me up for Clover Explorers in kindergarten. My mom and aunt started a 4-H Club called Clover Explorers in 2005. There were lessons, experiments, and games during our monthly meetings. Towards the end of my Clover
