In 4-H, young people and
their parents get involved. This
is why 4-H is often billed as a
family affair.
There are two general ways
parents can become involved —
by helping their children plan
to carry out a 4-H project and
by working as a 4-H volunteer
leader.
Ideally, the 4-H member, his
or her parents, and the volun-
teer leader sit down together to
develop a plan for the 4-H
members project. The parents
provide the guidance in the
scope of the project and gain
some knowledge of the objec-
tives of 4-H.
Many parents become in-
volved with their boys and girls
in 4-H in a leadership role.
They may become organi-
zation, project or activity lead-
ers, but specifically, their
responsibilities are directly
related to the 4-H Unit as a
whole.
For parents, 4-H provides an
opportunity to work with young
people, doing things they,
themselves, often find exciting
and rewarding.
Boys and girls have the most
successful experiences in 4-H if
their parents know and under-
stand the activities that are
connected with their individual
experiences. Parents can pro-
vide the needed moral as well
as financial support in the de-
velopment and evaluation of
projects. Above all, 4-H is an
opportunity for boys and girls
and their parents to improve
themselves and have a good
time doing it.
Get your family involved in 4-
H. Contact the County Exten-
sion office for details on the 4-H
program and the learning ex-
periences it has to offer.
There are nine active Com-
munity Clubs in Gillespie Coun-
ty with an enrollment of up-
ward of 350 members.
The 4-H and all educational
programs conducted by the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service serve all people of all
ages regardless of socio-eco-
nomic levels, race, color, sex,
religion or origin.
