  I stumbled on this information about 4-H Clubs quite by accident. Before reading about the fantastic programs the organization sponsors, I thought the only thing they did was to grow food and to raise prize-winning animals!
  
  Empowered Citizens Engaged in Community Leadership
  
  4-H Citizenship programs empower young people to be well-informed citizens who are actively engaged in their communities and the world.
  By providing them with opportunities to connect to their communities and adult leaders, youth gain a clear understanding of their role in civic affairs and are able to build their decision-making ability.
  This solid foundation helps youth understand and acquire the skills that will allow them to become astute leaders for the 21st Century.
  4-H'ers are leading a Revolution of Responsibility - a movement for positive change in every community in America. 4-H youth are a living breathing, culture-changing revolution for doing the right thing, breaking through obstacles and pushing our country forward by making a measurable difference right where they live. That takes uncommon commitment.
