4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills as they work in partnership with caring adults. What does that mean? In 4-H we are committed to helping young people develop skills that will help them succeed. We want to empower all youth to reach their full potential.
In Hamilton County, we improve our communities through our Community Clubs, SPIN Clubs, Camps and Classroom Programs.
4-H Youth Development is truly an inspirational and transformative program for all who participate. Join this week’s teacher and former 4-H member to learn about the intersection of art, gender, race, education, and food policy? From colorful stories about her childhood horse to a lively conversation about justice, Danielle Cozart Steele will enlighten you.
Join Extension Educators Tony Staubach, Hamilton County and Whitney Gherman, Marion County for a challenging and deep conversation about the Urban to Rural Interface.
You'll hear reflections on the life of an Extension Educator, the Urban to Rural Divide, the history of that divide, community voice and social justice.
The Art of Speaking is the newest SPIN club from the programming partnership between Butler, Greene and Hamilton Counties. This state wide SPIN club is designed for all youth in third grade and beyond.
Youth will learn: the art of public speaking, giving demonstrations, speech writing, proper gesturing and body movements, interviewing, poster-making and how to effectively present materials, and how to speak in leadership roles.
Dates for all 6 classes in 2021: 4/14, 4/21, 4/28, 5/5, 5/12, 5/19
3:30 – 4:30 pm
If any lesson can be learned from the interview between the Ohio 4-H True Leaders for Equity and Caracole, it is that scars do not come from knowledge and compassion, they come from its absence.
The interview included in this message showcases two 4-H members interviewing a valuable community partner of Hamilton County 4-H, Caracole.
The video highlights 4-H’s commitment to lifelong learning and it carries with it the message of love and respect that 4-H has for all people.
Greetings 4-H Families, Friends, Members, and Partners! And welcome to 2021!
If you’re like me I know you’re hoping for a relaxed seemingly forgettable year.
Let’s dive right in and get through the important stuff so you are prepared for the next few weeks.
We don't have to say it but, wow 2020- what a year! This months update covers a few important updates. Feel free to respond with any questions.
Join Extension Educator, Tony Staubach as he makes veggie pizza as part of the Let's Start Cooking SPIN Club.
The Virtual SPIN Club has been meeting for four weeks and has taken students on a journey thourough the kitchen while teaching skills on health, safety, and how to accurately measure ingredients.
Last week youth learned knife skills under the instruction of Tony Staubach and under the watchful eye of their parents who all graciously agreed to be on the call during the lesson to ensure safety.
Join us for a special Tony Talks to Teachers about Environmental Justice with colleague and friend Mary Dudley.
As a child I participated in a theatrical production about fire. The production has three movements. At one point we danced around a pile of TVs on stage to represent a large bonfire. Later we were asked to escape a burning building. When asked what I would take from my home in a fire I quickly answered car keys. Apparently at 8 years old I was going to drive away from that burning mess.
