The Iron County 4-H program is designed to support the positive and successful development of youth through the educational philosophy of "Learn by Doing". Volunteers and staff experience the joy of sharing hands on activities with youth at community activities or in our afterschool settings. At the same time the youth are learning life, decision making and social skills and just having a great time with an adult and friends. Our ultimate goal is for youth to develop positive personal assets needed to live successfully and responsibly in a diverse and changing world. Having the children learn through play and fun aids their remembering what was taught. 4-H programs can complement in and out of school learning and development.
Volunteers teach 4-H curriculum or a project of their choice to youth in the community or in our afterschool programs. Volunteers are trained in areas such as companion animals, arts and crafts, robotics, cooking, sewing, outdoor recreation and much more. Interested volunteers will require a background check before they can begin volunteering.
I have been in 4-H for 7 years. I have learned to be a better leader and collaborator. I have learned team working skills and develop relationships with other youth all over the state of Utah. 4-H has become a large part of my life. I teach Cloverbuds and help with fundraisers. I have been working on recruiting others to come to Teen Council and other events that we have. Calli Jordan 11th Grade I have been involved in 4-H for 6 years. In 4-H I am part of the Teen Council and also I am a Region Ambassador. In 4-H we have promoted healthy living and do leadership building activities that helps us to prepare for the future. 4-H has done a lot for me. It has helped me become a better leader and to be able to talk in front of people and to get over my fears. Also to help me prepare for job interviews and to show others what it means to be a leader. I have also helped with service projects. 4-H makes me want to be a better person and to excel in life. Before 4-H I never thought of going to college or wanting to do something bigger. I always thought it will just happens when it happens. 4-H has taught me to plan and that now is the time to prepare for the future. Daisey Allen 10th Grade
