FORT BEND COUNTY, TX – During Commissioners Court, October 4, 2016, Fort Bend County Judge Robert Hebert proclaimed October 2, 2016 through October 8, 2016 as National 4-H Week in Texas. Representatives from the 4-H group were present in court and brought cake to help celebrate the recognition.
4-H is the youth development program of the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service that focuses on the needs, concerns and interests of youth. Its aim is to help youth gain a positive self-concept, rational social behavior, knowledge and problem-solving capabilities through planned individual projects, meetings, group activities and participation in different events. Members develop new skills, learn cooperation, develop leadership abilities, improve their citizenship and have fun.
This admirable program, which seeks to provide a learning experience for the whole child, including head, heart, hands and health (4-H), helps young Texans to enable them to become self-directed, productive, and contributing members of our society.
