Health Grows in 4-H

Feb 28, 2017

4-H'ers throughout California are practicing and supporting healthy lifestyles in their communities. The Sparks Surveys taken by California 4-H youth show that more than 87% of 4-H'ers are learning about nutrition and making healthy choices. They are sharing their knowledge with their communities by organizing health fairs, hosting Color Me Green 5K Runs and doing service projects to support people in their communities.

Southern Area Healthy Living Summit

The Healthy Living Summit in the Southern Area was chaired by 4-H'er Christian Redman. This is the second year of the Summit, and Christian involved several 4-H clubs to support the event with interactive booths and activities.

The CA Southern Area had a very successful “Healthy Living Summit” with 50 plus participants.

4-H'ers danced, ran, sewed, did yoga, listened and snacked all afternoon. 

 

Service to Others

We served others by making 100 lunch bags for the homeless and 25 smile dolls for children who have cleft lip and cleft palate.
