4-H Success Stories

"For me, 4-H holds a special place in my heart. 4-H is more than an organization, it’s a community that creates a positive impact by inspiring and empowering young people to develop leadership skills and passion for the things they enjoy. For me, 4-H represents growth, development of skills, discovery, and joy in doing the things I love. Throughout my time as a 4-Her I have made life-long friendships through various agricultural activities and contests that I have attended. I have also gained invaluable experiences and opportunities that have taught me to have confidence, perseverance, and a strong sense of responsibility. Without the necessary skills that 4-H has taught me, I wouldn’t be the person I am today."

Madison County 4-H Member

"It’s amazing how easily I can join 4-H as a senior with no background in it other than the one my ag teacher gave me. I had 6 years of FFA experience and wasn’t super sure which college I was interested in going to. With 4-H, there are different events held at schools, communities, and college and having this opportunity within my reach gave me a great opportunity to make new connections as well as figure out my future college choice. It was so beneficial for me, and it was amazing how easy I was welcomed!"

Madison County 4-H Alumni

“My daughter has struggled her entire life to find people who look at life the way she does. When she found 4-H, she found acceptance. She has been able to explore her love for horses with participating in horse bowl and hippology and she has conquered her fear of public speaking. She has had the opportunity to explore careers that are out there with a trip to Cornell. The most amazing thing that she has found is a bond with like-minded adults and her best friends.”
