Ways Parents/Guardians Can Help

• Help your child select one or more suitable 4-H Projects to complete. Support your child’s 4-H project
  work.
• Make sure your child attends the 4-H Club meetings. Post and help your child use the club calendar.
  Provide or arrange for transportation. Club calendars are published in our newsletter. Attend at least
  three Club meetings (the first and two others) with your child.
• Help your child to complete any 4-H responsibilities he or she may have volunteered for, been elected
  to, or selected for.
• Help with at least one 4-H club activity during the 4-H year. Volunteer, don’t wait to
  be asked!
• Read the newsletter, especially the calendar to be aware of dates important to your 4-Her.
• Help your child gather any materials needed for their project.
• Help your child complete one or more articles for exhibit and make sure he/she can exhibit them at
  the County 4-H Fair. Provide transportation and encouragement.
• Help your child complete, and turn in on time, 4-H project records.
• Help your child learn and grow, share experiences with your child, improve relationships with your
  child, make a contribution to youth in your community, and develop a sense of accomplishment.
• Be an example! Help your 4-Her(s) to be a good sport, and appreciate the successes of others.
• Be a 4-H booster in the community. Support 4-H by sponsoring awards and the 4-H Fair Board.
• Help your 4-Her find a way to participate in special events that interest him/her such as county
  contests, camps, fairs, displays, or shows.
• Support your local 4-H leaders. Get acquainted with them. Let them know you appreciate their efforts.
• Offer your services to assist the local program by talking with the Extension Educator. You have
  knowledge and skills that are needed in 4-H.
• Remember that the real object of 4-H is to develop your kids into finer citizens. The way they work on
  projects, participate in meetings, and conduct themselves at competitive events, etc., will help set work
  and character standards for the rest of their lives
