10-year member states, "4-H has helped to change my life for the best.  4-H also has given me the opportunity to become a more confident and well-rounded individual which I could never have become without 4-H."

National Hall of Fame Member states “ 4-H has so many positive aspects and I see a continued bright future for 4-H.  The program is always working to stay current and adding new projects to continue to attract many students.  4-H has something for everyone and they are staying true to the motto  “to Make the Best Better”. “I find that many say the awards and ribbons they received meant so much to them, but the experiences provided far more important and valuable lessons for life.”
