  4. 4-H Age • The North Carolina 4-H Youth Development programs are open to young people aged 5 through 18 (Note: This is through their 18th year; if they are 19 years old on January 1, they cannot compete). 4-H age is determined by a young person's age on January 1 of the 4-H program year which runs (January 1 to December 31). This is consistent with National 4-H competitive guidelines. 4-H participation should involve age-appropriate experiences designed for youth aged 5 to 8 (Cloverbuds) and youth aged 9 through 18. • 4-H Program Year • The North Carolina 4-H Youth Development Program Year is January 1 - December 31. This is consistent with National 4-H competitive guidelines. All State Competitive Events and Activities operate on the 4-H Program Year. • All competitive 4-H programs will be judged based on 4-H’ers work from January 1 – December 31.

  5. Purpose of NC 4-H Awards Program • Provide youth an opportunity for rewards and recognition. • Inspire creative thinking and encourage 4-H’ers to discover and develop their talents through life skill development opportunities. • Preparing youth to face adversities that they will encounter in life.

  6. Awards & Incentives Committee • Agents, PA’s, Volunteers & Youth • If you are interested in serving on this committee, email me. • Purpose • Guide & Direct State programming efforts • Make suggestions for improvements/changes • Provide a district contact for counties

  7. County Staff/AgentsRole & Expectations • Develop a county awards program to include the components that were just mentioned • Provide training on all areas of awards: • application process, guidelines, incentives, county categories, deadlines, etc • Screen on the County Level before coming to District or State Competition • Achievement Program to recognize winners • Youth are active in 4-H because it benefits them personally so agents need to develop recognition opportunities that recognize their 4-H’ers. • Register for District & State events as appropriate
