The Indiana 4-H Program celebrates the accomplishments of the 4-H youth. It takes time, energy and perseverance to be an active and committed 4-H member. 4-H focuses on a "learning by doing" method which enables the child to not only read and learn about his/her interests but also to complete a project to demonstrate what he/she learned in a particular area.
The program today focuses on positive youth development and human capital. Program directors utilize subject matter that enhances that development. Organizers recognize that the youth of today are future leaders. What they learn and experience in the 4-H program helps them develop into contributing citizens who will "give back" to their communities in the future.
If you would like to volunteer or join 4-H, please contact the Extension Office.
If you have any questions, please contact the Pulaski County Extension Office located on 125 S. Riverside Dr. in Winamac at 574-946-3412. Visit its web site at www.extension.purdue.edu/pulaski or find it on Facebook by searching for Pulaski County Extension Office.
