4-H Club Work
Can Be Rewarding
By Ed Hunt
“What is 4-H club work?”
4-H Club work is a national
organization of boys and girls
that has as some of its main
purposes the development of de
sirable Ideals and standards for
personal and family living, com
munity life, leadership, and
citizenship. As all of us know,
the emblem of the 4-H club is
that of a four-leaf clover with an
H in each leaf. The “H’s” re
present equal development and
training of the head, heart, hands,
and health.
4-H Club work is a part of the
University of Georgia, College of
Agriculture. Through its Agri
cultural Extension Service, with
its county agents and home econo
mists, the program is carried
into every county and community
in the state.
The main purpose of the 4-H
club program is the development
of boys and girls into capable,
useful, well-adjusted citizens, so
that they may enjoy a full life.
4-H club work can be most re
warding to anyone who par
ticipates as a member, a leader,
or Extension worker. In order
that the satisfaction of serving be
known, the individual must meet
the many challenges to him in 4-H
work. These come in the form of
developing as a club member with
the chosen projects; the changes
that may occur from time to time
in the project area; cooperating
and joining with other 4-H’ers
In group activities; giving demon
strations and accepting failure
sometimes as a result of some
one having done a better job.
Leaders find 4-H very reward
ing if they will patiently apply
themselves to the many activities
which 4-H groups can create.
Leaders will find the eagerness
of a cloverleaf 4-H’er, the deter
mination of a junior 4-H’er, and
the poise and confidence of a
senior 4-H’er stirs their own
imagination and desire to give a
positive kind of leadership, which
those young people are seeking.
A leader who is willing and has
the desire to lead 4-H’ers cando
things with these young people
which is almost unbelievable. A
person serving as a leader must
never give the club member any
reason to doubt his ability as a
leader or question his character
if he is to command the type
respect for these club mem
bers that is so Important.
This is one of the greatest
challenges which a leader must
meet. A person serving as a
leader may come from many
walks of life. He may be a
mechanic, a carpenter, a bus
inessman, a farmer, a home
maker, a farm equipment dealer,
any number of sales or
ganizations and bankers.
Those of us working in Ex
tension Service positions know
that the club boys and girls
“learn by doing”. They are
building themselves as the fu
ture leaders of our nation and
we realize that we must pro
vide the type leadership which
they will respect. 4-H Club
work offers the following basic
objectives to the club boys and
girls, according to Mr. Raymond
C. Firestone, one of our National
4-H Club donors:
Here are some precepts which

have common application to both
4-H and good citizenship,
as stated by Mr. Firestone:
“4-H develops character--and
character is basic to good
citizenship.
“4-H teaches respect for the
rights of others--this, too, is
mandatory to good citizenship.
“4-H emphasizes work and
productivity -- good citizenship
requires the conscientious dis
charge of duties.
“4-H is a community builder—
and the foundations of good com
munities are their citizens.
“4-H, above everything else,
helps its members become bet
ter Americans--that means the
upgrading of qualities of citizen
ship.”
