4-H Achievement Program

Enrollment Brochure

Motivation and the use of incentives are essential to positive youth development. 4-H Youth Development programs provide opportunities for creativity in a learn-by-doing environment and encourage youth to become involved in projects and activities. The 4-H Achievement Program is intended to recognize 4-H participants who have outstanding accomplishments and incentivize youth to increase their knowledge, skills, and abilities. Every effort is made to make this 4-H program inclusive to all eligible youth.
 

4-H Achievement Design:

• Comprehensive program spanning the entire career of the 4-H’er.
• Awards points for outside efforts and interests.
• Encourages growth and development by awarding high points at multi-county, state, and national levels.
• The program does not require a previous level of achievement to apply for a higher level as long as the 4-H’er meets the minimum point requirements.
• 4-H’ers can choose to compete for awards and prizes (i.e., Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Emerald) – or achieve levels and be recognized in their counties through Clover Levels 1 through 3.
• Youth who have obtained a “Bronze,” “Silver,” or “Gold” – retain their title.
• The new 4-H Achievement Program includes and incorporates the previous “Middle School Leadership Awards.”
• Previous work completed by the 4-H’er (from past years) may be included in the new Achievement Program.
• The achievement program is designed to allow 4-H’ers to begin keeping records of their awards, participation, and projects.

Ham Curing - What to Bring

The country ham has been a food tradition in Kentucky and throughout the southeast for hundreds of years.  The Kentucky 4-H Country Ham project continues the tradition of the country ham.  The project began in the late 1990’s with less than 40 4-Hers to currently over 775 4-Hers from greater than 65 Kentucky counties.  The project begins in the cold winter months of January and ends in August at the Kentucky State Fair, where the hams are judged by members of the Kentucky Country Ham Producers and the students present a 3 to 5 minute speech on the project.  Throughout the project the 4-Hers learn about food production and how the country ham fits into Kentucky’s food heritage.

Description:  Open to youth ages 9-18 years old.  Youth learn about and complete the curing process of a country ham.  Youth are required to complete a 3-5 minute speech at the Kentucky State Fair.  Must pre-register for project!  Registration materials are available via online and at the Fleming County Cooperative Extension Office.

 4-H Horse Club Fun Show - June 22, 2024

We planned for a beautiful day on Saturday for the 2024 4-H Fun Show! We were banking on a great turn out from the community, all had a good time and sent a huge thank you to the 4-H Golden Reins Horse Club members, parents, and leaders for hosting such a great event! 

4-H Horse Club Program:

The 4-H Horse club is a fun, up and coming group with great leadership! If you are wanting to get your youth involved this is a great time! 

4-H Golden Reins 4-H Horse Club is for Fleming County youth ages 9-18 (as of Jan 1, 2024). Our current guidance leads us to beginning our program year meeting virtually this fall with a kick off event, and then hopefully move to a local venue for club meetings as protocol allows.

Lessons will be focused around equine education. Each member wanting to participate in statewide 4-H events such as district shows, state show, state contest, etc. must complete 6 educational hours under the direction of our 4-H Certified Leaders.

   2025 4-H Shooting Sports Flyer

Kentucky 4-H Shooting Sports began in 1988 and is a nationally recognized program that focuses on fostering life skills and positive youth development through healthy competition, service, leadership and education. There are a variety of disciplines offered within the program including archery, muzzleloader, pistol (air & .22 caliber), rifle (air & .22 caliber), shotgun, and hunting and outdoor skills, all of which are taught by a National or State Certified Instructor.

    Shooting Sports is open to all youth, 9 to 18 years of age as of their 4-H age (age as of Jan. 1st of that year).

    Kentucky 4-H believes that all youth should have opportunities for positive youth development in our four guiding concepts: mastery, belonging, independence, and generosity.
