We pledge our “health to better living,” but do we actually practice it? Practicing healthy habits and choices has lifelong effects on the health of youth, and the 4th H Club Challenge promotes this by encouraging Ohio 4-H Clubs to learn, practice, and advocate for healthy choices and behaviors at 4-H club meetings.
Each club that completes the challenge before the deadline will be entered into the $100 voucher drawing for their region, with the winning club receiving funds to purchase items like project books, educational tool, or other resources for their club.
How does it work? Apply three healthy practices per meeting (see list below) at six or more 4-H club meetings between Jan. – Dec. 2024.
- Register and complete pre-survey. https://go.osu.edu/4thHClubChallenge
- Record the dates and activities in the 4th H tracker link. (tracker link will be provided after registering)
- Share a picture of your club doing a healthy practice on social media. Be sure to include the official hashtag #Ohio4thHClubChallenge.
- Submit all activities to the tracker link by Dec. 31, 2024.
If your club already does some health practices, great! We encourage you to challenge yourselves with different or new health practices for your club.
