Dawn Promotes 4-H and FFA

Dawn Promotes 4-H & FFA

I have two AMAZING suggestions that you and your children can get involved with. Both will teach them hard work, leadership, setting and obtaining goals, caring for their community and the people in it, it will teach them self sacrifice, the joy of giving, being apart of something bigger than themselves, they will learn compassion, respect for others and self respect. Of course there are many organizations for your kiddos to learn all of this and for you to participate in, but here are the two I bring to you.

4-H

ANY child can join 4-H, you don’t have to live in a rural area at all. They are many projects that do not include raising animals. https://4-h.org/

“4‑H’s reach and depth is unmatched. Through our community of 100 public universities, 4‑H reaches kids in every corner of America – from urban neighborhoods to suburban schoolyards to rural farming communities. Our network of 500,000 volunteers and 3,500 4‑H professionals provides caring and supportive mentoring to all 6 million 4‑H’ers, helping them grow into true leaders today and in life.”

4‑H Pledge
I pledge my head to clearer thinking,
My heart to greater loyalty,
My hands to larger service,
and my health to better living,
for my club, my community, my country, and my world.

FFA

FFA is not just for students who want to be production farmers; FFA also welcomes members who aspire to careers as teachers, doctors, scientists, business owners and more. https://www.ffa.org/home
