In addition 4-H members gain great social competency and leadership.

For example I had the pleasure to talk with Tammeran who has been a member of the 4-H Club for 6 yrs. Tammeran’s speciality is working with Sheep. I asked Tammeran what he has gained from the 4-H Club. 

“Learning responsibility, looking after animals as well as Farm Safety.”  Tammeran.
