True Blue Character Counts
Kentucky 4-H emphasizes the importance of youth being active citizens in their community and understanding their roles as citizens. A strong component of citizenship is community service, connecting youth with their community and teaching them skill sets that will help them become better leaders in the future.
One Webster County 4-H teen started the True Blue Character Counts club. The club started out with 8 members that met once a month to give their time and talents to the community by planning and implementing several community service projects throughout the year. Volunteering at the local food bank, making blankets for hospital patients, can food drive and also coordinated a hoodie drive for low income families during the holiday season. The 4-H Teens felt empowered for coordinating all the community service projects. The teens are motivated to continue this club and help improve the lives of others.
