 On March 9, 2021 Linda Spahr, educator from the York County 4 H spoke at our weekly meeting. The 4-H program is all about people sharing, doing, and learning together in all kinds of projects, events and activities through local clubs, special interest clubs, school-based and after-school programs. Members can choose projects that fit their interests, abilities and the places where they live. Projects involve hands-on learning, setting goals, and evaluating one’s progress. 4-Hers can compete with their projects in contests at the local, state regional or national. Each of the animal science clubs provide youth an opportunity to dive deeper into learning about the animal species that interests them. The large animal clubs include alpaca, beef, dairy, dairy beef, goat, horse, pig, and sheep. The animal science clubs provide youth an opportunity to dive deeper into learning about the animal species that interests them. The small animal clubs include dog, guinea pig, poultry, rabbit, and raising puppies for the Seeing Eye Program. The special interest clubs focus on a specific project area, allowing youth to immerse themselves into a project area they want to learn more about. Special interest clubs include gardening and horticulture, insects, inter-state exchange, leadership, shooting sports, and wildlife. York County 4-H also owns a 4-H center located in Stoverstown where they hold the majority of their meetings and events. 4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship and life skills. |
