LEARN HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY
Rush out of work at 5:00 p.m., battle the traffic to pick up your child at daycare, grab supper
at a fast food restaurant, and then it's home to wash clothes. Sound familiar? Want to spend
more time with your child, but can't figure out how to work it into your hectic schedule?
4-H may
be the solution to your dilemma.
The K to 3rd Grade 4-H Club Program provides parents the chance to spend
quality time with
their child while at the same time meeting their child's developmental needs. Through regular club
meetings, members interact with other children and adults meeting their need for bonding and
belonging to a group. 4-H also meets your child's desire to try new things by
offering a variety of
learning experiences through play at each meeting.
4-H is having a FIND OUT MORE SESSION for youth ages 5 to 8, (date), (time) at (location).
Bring your child to discover how you can make the most out of your time together.

WHY 4-H CLUBS ARE IMPORTANT
4-H knows your family is important to you. We also know how difficult it is to fit work, family,
and home life into a demanding schedule. Often, parents spend time driving their children from
one activity to another and miss out on time spent together. 4-H works to solve
this problem. We encourage family involvement in 4-H. It's not just a youth
organization, it's a family organization. That's one of the reasons we are one of the largest national
youth orgranizations in the country for boys and girls ages 5 to 19.
4-H provides children and their parents with over 200 projects and activities that are designed to
help you learn and grow together. Imagine the fun in developing interests and hobbies as a
family.
You and your family can take part in 4-H by joining one of the clubs located
throughtout the county or forming a new club. 4-H clubs are young people having
fun with friends and learning new skills. The club is led by adult helpers and meets once a
month.
Going on tours, attending special programs and parties, conducting community service, making
things, and sharing what they have learned are some of the things your child can do in
4-H. Through their club experience, youth gain skills in decision making,
cooperation, and communication.
Call the Cooperative Extension Service, 4-H Youth Development Program at
(phone number), Monday through Friday, to find out how you can be a part of one of the largest
youth organizations.
4-H is open to all youth regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, sex, or disabilities.
