Today's 4-H is a community of young people across Colorado learning leadership, citizenship, character and lifeskills in partnership with caring adults.
I'd like to nominate the Araphoe 4-H Foundation to receive the $1000 award. It supports 4-H youth in the Jr. Leaders program, it sends 3 4-Hers to the Washington DC Focus Trip each year, it provides scholarships to youth that have demonstrated outstanding leadership and community service, and it provides awards each year to 4-Hers at the county fair.
It is supported by generous donors and 4-H fundraising efforts to keep it going supporting the youth and hundreds of volunteers each year. Please consider Arapahoe 4-H Foundation for this award.

The 4 H's stand for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health that follow with a 4-H Pledge that each member and leader say at the beginning of each meeting:
I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living, for my club, my community, my country, and my world.
"To Make the Best Better" has been known as the 4-H Motto, and "Learn by Doing" has been the 4-H Slogan
