Dear 4-H Club Leaders,
First, thank you all for your patience as we have worked through re-opening procedures for our 4-H program, including 4-H clubs. I know that you are excited to be able to meet in person with your clubs again soon and am sharing this update so that you’ll know what’s required in order to do so.
NCSU Requirements for In-Person 4-H Club Meetings:
· Face masks are not required for outdoor activities unless it is a crowded, dense setting; Face masks are required for indoor activities unless you have an approved exemption from NCSU (please email Esmeralda.Rojas@wakegov.com for waiver process); There is no requirement for six feet of distance between participants except when eating, when six feet of distance is required; Clubs may meet in private residences as long as appropriate cleaning measures are in place; Clubs may meet in parks, public buildings, barns, etc. as long as CDC protocols are followed for cleaning the spaces before and after meetings. If you would like to meet at our 4-H office, please let us know; All in-person meetings must be approved by our County Extension Director, Katherine Williams.
Preparing to Return to In-Person Meetings:
· Email Esmeralda.Rojas@wakegov.com with your meeting location. She will secure approval from our County Extension Director to approve the meeting and will let you know when it is approved (we will aim for the speediest approvals possible!); Make sure that all club members are registered in 4-H Online 2.0; Post a sign reminding people to wear a mask, wash hands, and wait six feet apart where possible; Have a copy of the screening questions so that you can ask youth and adult participants these as they enter the meeting; Be sure to take attendance and keep a record of who attended; If anyone in the group tests positive within seven days of the meeting, please let Esmeralda know (Esmeralda.Rojas@wakegov.com).If you have questions about any of these procedures, please let our office know. We are so grateful for the work that you do with our 4-H’ers and we hope that you are as excited as we are about a return to our “new normal” and face-to-face programs.
Sincerely, Heather Schaffer,
4-H Program Manager Wake County Extension

About 4-H
4-H, the nation’s largest youth development organization, grows confident young people who are empowered for life today and prepared for career tomorrow. 4-H programs empower nearly six million young people across the U.S. through experiences that develop critical life skills. 4-H is the youth development program of our nation’s Cooperative Extension System and USDA and serves every county and parish in the U.S. through a network of 110 public universities and more than 3000 local Extension offices. Globally, 4-H collaborates with independent programs to empower one million youth in 50 countries. The research-backed 4-H experience grows young people who are four times more likely to contribute to their communities; two times more likely to make healthier choices; two times more likely to be civically active; and two times more likely to participate in STEM programs.

4-H Mission
The mission of 4-H is to assist youth, and adults working with those youth, to gain additional knowledge, life skills and attitudes that will further their development as self-directing, contributing and productive members of society.
4-H Motto and Pledge
The 4-H motto: “To Make the Best Better.”
The 4-H Club pledge:
“I pledge … my Head to clearer thinking, my Heart to greater loyalty, my Hands to larger service and my Health to better living for my club, my community, my country, and my world.”
When reciting the pledge, members raise their right hand to their forehead when they say, “my head to clearer thinking.” They lower their hand to their hearts as they say, “my heart to greater loyalty.” At the line, “my hands to larger service,” they extend their hands in front of them, palms upward. At the last line, they stand at attention with their hands at their sides.
4-H Symbol
The 4-H emblem is federally protected under Section 18 U.S. Code 707 and belongs to the Congress of the United States. The official emblem is green with white H’s, the 4-H colors. The white symbolizes purity. The green represents nature’s most common color and is emblematic of youth, life and growth.
Official emblems can be downloaded from National 4-H Headquarters. You must have authorization from your local 4-H program to use these graphics.
