By VIVIAN SMITH Reporter Almost 200,000 Texas youths will be involved in National 4-H Week this week. “4-H — Building on Experience,” is the theme for the week, which be gan Oct. 7. Conducted by the Cooperative Extension Service in each state and supported by each state’s land-grant university and the United States De partment of Agriculture, the 4-H program has stressed a “learning by aoing” philosophy for more than 75 years, Gayle Hall, extension 4-H spe cialist, said. What began as a “corn club” for boys and a “tomato club” for girls to teach rural children about agricul ture, has now grown into the nation’s largest youth organization outside school, Hall said. Young people between the ages of 9 and 19, regardless of where they live, have projects in approximately 50 different areas. Through their involvement with these projects the students acquire knowledge, develop skills and form attitudes that will prepare them for the future, Hall said. Also, Texas 4-H is unique because it has an extremely strong schol arship program for its members, Hall said. At the State 4-H Round- Up held at Texas A&M in June, the state 4-H gave away almost $500,000 in scholarships to Texas 4-H mem bers, Hall said. “Texas 4-H is a family affair,” she said. “Many of our activities take place after school or on the week ends so we try to offer something for everyone in the family.” 4-H also is a leader-based pro gram, Hall added. “The 17,000 Texas volunteer- leaders are actively recruited and trained by the county extension agents,” she said. “In turn these leaders train the students. “We estimate that a 4-H volunteer puts in approximately 220 hours and drives more than 300 to 400 miles annually in their own vehicles.” One major project planned for National 4-H Week is to raise money for a $1 million addition to the State 4-H C Center in Brownwood. Using the slogan, “Quarters for Kids Un der Construction,” 4-H members will go door-to-door during the week to collect donations for the project, Hall said. A&M has a collegiate 4-H Chapter that’s main purpose is to help make adult leaders from former 4-H members, Sharon Dohmann, colle giate 4-H president, said. “It also helps students who want to get involved with the extension serv ice because it’s a good way to meet people,” she said. Members of the Collegiate 4-H help the Brazos County 4-H as judges at contests and as counselors for summer 4-H camps. The Collegiate 4-H will have a booth in the Memorial Student Cen ter this week.
