The 4-H motto is to make the best better.
Milestones are marked by a moment of pride and celebration. As we celebrate our 120th anniversary, we reflect on the mission that 4-H inspires curiosity, builds lifelong skills, fuels adventure and creates leaders.
In honor of this milestone, we need your support by ensuring our legacy provides opportunities to 4-H youth and their education. Our goal is to raise $120,000 to create an endowment that will generate scholarships for Ohio 4-H youth to attend The Ohio State University for years to come.
“4-H gave me a huge advantage when I applied and interviewed for colleges and scholarship opportunities. From the beginning, 4-H teaches youth important and necessary skills like reading, writing, interviewing, studying and more.” — Maddie Allman, community leadership major
We cannot accomplish this goal without you. Every gift counts, and you can make a difference in the lives of these students.
