4-H Excels in Community Service
Youth Learn Life Skills While Having FUN
4-H has focused on Community Service projects and life skills in 2003.
Pulaski County 4-Hers have completed many community service projects, focusing
on Grandparent’s Day and 4-H Can Make A Difference Food Drive. Pulaski County
4-Hers learn many life skills through hands-on activities.
4-H celebrates Grandparents’ Day in a very special way. Wal-Mart works in
collaboration with 4-H on this project by granting five hundred dollars. In
2003, Pulaski County 4-Hers created 384 clay pots with silk flower arrangements
and delivered them to six different nursing homes.
Pulaski County 4-Hers collected 4,469 pounds of food for the 4-H Can Make A
Difference Food Drive. Each club collected food in various ways. Some collected
at their church and had donation sites at local stores. Live and Learn 4-H Club
collected 2,110 pounds alone!
Life skills are taught in every 4-H activity. Pulaski County Teen Leaders
focus on teamwork and leadership training through hands-on activities. Teen
Leaders planned activities for Cloverbuds. They also designed a mural to be
painted on the flood wall of North Little Rock. The design was developed by 4-H
with the help of a local artist. It has been approved by the mayor and underway
in 2004.
Pulaski County 4-Hers know that character really counts! Character Counts
teaches the six pillars of character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility,
Fairness, Caring and Citizenship. 4-Hers have undergone lessons in character and
understand that who you are makes a difference in today’s world.
