MLK Service Project Update

This year, Hamilton County 4-H worked with four public schools and one 4-H club to design projects to meet the diverse needs of our county population while also exemplifying the life and legacy of MLK

Students at Gamble Montessori High School and Pleasant Hill Academy have the unique privilege of being the only 4-H School based program and FFA program at an Urban School in Cincinnati, OH. Urban agriculture has its own unique challenges, including finding adequate space to engage the community. On the property of Gamble Montessori and Pleasant Hill Academy sits large swaths of land covered in invasive and non-native species. The students at both schools have been interested in removing the invasive species and reclaiming the land for native plants. In an attempt to build more garden beds for the school and community use Gamble Montessori High School removed invasive species to protect their local flora and fauna and increase growing space for the community. At Pleasant Hill the youth tended to their growing food forest by applying nutrients to the soil and working to maintain the trees through the winter.

Students at Hughes High School had a different idea, they elected to put together care packages for local homeless residents. Knowing that the winter is a particularly vulnerable time of year for those who are seeking shelter the students put together packages of necessities including soap, lotion and hand sanitizer. Through our partnership more than 50 kits were constructed.

At Withrow High School, the DECA program and the business classes worked with minority owned business owners to develop profiles to put on their websites and then they helped the owners update and make their websites more user friendly. This project met not only the academic needs of the course but the social and emotional needs of the students. Knowing that they have power and control over their lives is a cornerstone of future success. Through their work they hope to see an increase in the number of visitors to each web page.

Finally, our 4-H club volunteered through our Pet Pals program at a local nursing home and brought animals to the residents. Residents played with alpacas, chickens and rabbits and engaged with the youth. The event wasn’t just a show and tell it was a party sponsored by the club to bring a little light and joy to the lives of the seniors on a winter day. The seniors had a great time engaging with the youth and teaching them about a world before mass media and easy technology and the youth enjoyed sharing their hopes and dreams with an older generation.

In total 280 volunteers were engaged providing more than 400 hours of service. 1,500 people were served by the projects completed. Special Thanks to the Mott Foundation and Youth Service America for supporting this project.

Two Minutes with Tony


 

Have you ever stared at an object so beautiful that you couldn’t look away? The stars in the night sky, the face of your child, the ocean at sunset.

Have you ever heard a sound so comfortable that you lost track of time? The laughter of a child, your favorite childhood song, crickets in the forest.

Have you ever felt a surface so soft that you didn’t want to let go? A child’s blanket, new pillows, a warm towel.

Have you ever smelled something so peaceful that your troubles melted away? Chocolate chip cookies, freshly cut grass, a clean bathroom.

Have you ever tasted something so savory that you found yourself lost in a memory? A home cooked pot roast, pizza, chewing gum?

All of these feelings are the result of someone’s art. Art is an expression of who we are and what we feel. I think often about the quilts that kept families warm, they were practical artistic applications. Scraps of fabric sewn together to express and evoke emotions. Trunks and cabinets were carefully crafted to hold items of significance but also serve as a lasting tribute to someone’s love.

Art is about expression. We are all artists. I’ve never met a child who doesn’t like to draw until they are told that they don’t have the skills. I’ve never met a child who doesn’t like to play pretend, until they are told that they are too old.

At its foundation, art teaches us how to understand our emotions, regulate our feelings and be part of a collective experience. Art teaches us how to work together, art teaches us how to survive in times of trouble, art teaches us the fine line between love and hate.

When you’re going through your list of projects to complete this year, I encourage you to think about completing one artistic project. The door is wide open for you to get creative. There are no limits to what you are capable of creating. As 4-H youth you have the right and responsibility to engage in self-expression in a way that builds community and connects people across conditions.

If you don’t have time to take another project, think about how art can be built into the projects you already complete, art is everywhere and waiting for your discovery.
