Surfside 4-H

When most people think of 4-H they think of agriculture and farm animals... and we have those things but 4-H is so much more.

Our focus at Surfside 4-H is life skills, that will better our 4-H members and our community, through experiential learning while having fun. We offer projects that focus on science, engineering, and manufacturing like robotics, sewing, and entomology. Healthy living projects like hiking, yoga, fishing, and cooking are important too. Art and creativity are life skills that are often overlooked and we offer projects in drawing, cake decorating, and more.

Our motto is “Making the Best Better”

What does 4-H mean?

The first “H” in 4-H stands for Head; “Head to clearer thinking.” One of the key concepts in 4-H is education; allowing youth the opportunity to learn new things through projects and programs. 4-H allows youth to be actively engaged in their own learning. In addition, 4-H makes youth participants, rather than recipients, in the learning process. One of the main goals in 4-H is to have youth develop life skills that help them succeed. Some of these life skills include leadership, responsibility, dedication, communication and self-confidence.

The second “H” in 4-H stands for Heart; “Heart to greater loyalty.” In 4-H, youth are taught to be reliable and loyal in their heart and understand what is means to take responsibility for their projects and to follow through. 4-H also gives youth positive relationships with adults and peers through leaders and teens. Caring for others and their projects is also a trait that relates to the “H” for Heart.

The next “H” in 4-H stands for Hands; “Hands for larger service.” 4-H’ers are busy with their hands all year long learning new things and caring for their projects with hands-on experiences. Another way 4-H’ers use their hands is by giving back to the community. Part of 4-H is teaching youth the importance of serving the community, country and world.

The last “H” in 4-H stands for Health; “Health to better living.” Knowing how to cook and grow food, and appreciating art allows 4-H’ers to gain an understanding of how the world works and how to live healthy. Projects such as photography, canning, arts and crafts, sewing, collections, and cooking help youth realize what it takes to have a healthy lifestyle and how to spend their leisure time. 4-H also strives to make sure youth are physically and emotionally safe.

By putting all the “H”s together, we get the 4-H pledge:

I pledge My Head to clearer thinking My Heart to greater loyalty My Hands to larger service My Health to better living For my club, my community, my country and my world.
