WHITLEY COUNTY MINI 4-H PROGRAM
Welcome to the Whitley County Mini 4-H Program!
Welcome to Whitley County Mini 4-H! You are now a member of the Whitley County 4-H family! We hope that you will have lots of fun learning new things in your 4-H career.
Mini 4-H is designed for youth in Kindergarten through Second grade. It will give you a taste of the 4-H program as well as help you to explore a variety of project areas.
The Mini 4-H manuals contains fun, age appropriate activities to complete throughout the 4-H year. These activities will help you to learn about the project you have chosen. Additionally, the manual contains all instructions for the exhibit you will be preparing for the Whitley County 4-H Fair in July.
There is no competition in the Mini 4-H program. Each child who completes a project for the Fair will receive the same completion ribbon. Leaders will give each project comment sheets are provided only as a way to help you do your very best on future projects.
Mini 4-H will meet January through June. Try to attend the as many meetings as you can they are planned especially for YOU! These will give you a chance to meet the leaders, have some hands-on fun, and ask questions about your important Fair display. Mini 4-H is FUN! You will enjoy it.
Once you enter the third grade you can join a regular 4-H club that meets monthly. You must enroll each year of your 4-H career.
If you have questions about the Mini 4-H program, please call the Purdue Cooperative Extension Office at 260-244-7615. We will be happy to answer your questions.
As a Mini 4-H parent, please help guide and encourage your child through the activities. Work with them to help them to “learn by doing”. Activities are designed to help your child learn about the project they have chosen. It is not required that they complete all the activities. Choose those that interest you and your child.
