4-H 4 More Campaign
We believe all youth can find their spark in 4-H; they just have to be introduced to it first. The 4-H 4 More marketing campaign is designed to increase Texas 4-H membership. Join us in creating 4-H opportunity for more youth by inviting four more youth into the program. We’re challenging each 4-H member to invite four friends to join 4-H. Agents, volunteers, and parents can invite new members in, too!
For returning 4-H members who invite new members in, we’ve set up an incentive program. Incentives for participation include:
- 1 new member: 4-H 4 More t-shirt
- 2 new members: Membership refund
- 3 new members: Leather portfolio
- 4 new members: Backpack and state recognition
- All participants are encouraged to list participation on Texas 4-H scholarship applications and record books.
How is this tracked? When a new member registers on 4HOnline, they will have the availability to input who referred them 4-H. Those “referred by” names are the names I will pull in twice a year, in December and July, to send incentives. Incentives are sent to the county office, with an email coming to the county offices of recipients beforehand to let you know they will be receiving a package and the contents of that package. To answer a question you may have regarding tracking: When a new member uses a “family name” as their referral, rather than a child’s specific name? No, we have to have the child’s specific name in the referral rather than “the Pirate family” for example.
Texas 4-H
4-H offers a young person many opportunities. Getting involved in fun and educational 4-H projects and activities, having the opportunity to learn valuable life skills and develop self-confidence, and making new friends are all part of being a 4-H Club member. Plus field trips and Summer Camp also add educational value and fun!
“What if I don’t want to raise an animal ….. is 4-H still for me?”
Absolutely! A misconception about 4-H is that it is only about raising farm animals, and nothing else. Although livestock projects are very popular, members are not limited to only these types of learning experiences. A wide variety of other projects are also a part of 4-H. Some of these projects include: agriculture (including horticulture) and livestock, family and community health, leadership and citizenship, natural resources and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math; which includes photography).
