What Is National 4-H Week?

Every October, communities across the country celebrate National 4-H Week—a time to recognize the positive impact of 4-H youth and the dedicated volunteers who support them. 4-H is the nation’s largest youth development organization, empowering young people with hands-on learning experiences in agriculture, science, leadership, and citizenship.

The iconic 4-H pledge—“Head, Heart, Hands, and Health”—reflects the program’s commitment to developing well-rounded individuals who are prepared to make a difference in their communities. Whether it’s raising livestock, exploring STEM projects, or volunteering locally, 4-H members learn by doing.

As a company rooted in serving the farm, ranch, and pet industries, we see firsthand how 4-H helps shape the future of agriculture and rural life. National 4-H Week is a chance to celebrate these young leaders and the mentors who guide them.

How You Can Get Involved:

• Attend a local 4-H event or fair

• Volunteer with your county 4-H program

• Share your 4-H story on social media using #4HWeek

• Support youth by donating or sponsoring a local club

Let’s celebrate the power of youth and the promise of tomorrow. Happy National 4-H Week!
