Why Year-End Awards?

At the end of each “4-H Year” (which runs from Sept 30-October 1 each calendar year), many 4-H youth enjoy the opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments publicly.  One way in which we do this as an entire county is at our year-end awards event: Celebrate 4-H.  At this event, 4-H members and leaders receive special recognition for their participation in 4-H, in specific 4-H projects, and in areas of personal growth (e.g., leadership, community service).
