…If so, then you have come to the right place! 
These and other opportunities are there for members of Alaska's 4-H programs. Sponsored jointly by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Cooperative Extension Service, Alaska 4-H is the educational youth development program of the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Led by adult volunteers, with assistance from Extension 4-H Youth Development agents, local 4-H clubs are part of the national 4-H system and can draw upon those resources as well as those offered by the University of Alaska and other public and private sector agencies and businesses. While local 4-H clubs are founded according to national guidelines and united by the 4-H mission, they are led by adult volunteers who develop programs that fit youth interests and needs. Club activities are limited only by imagination.

Why GREEN?  Green is the color of nature and life. Green symbolizes well being,  it also means learning, growth and harmony. The Green Mustache Movement encourages children to try new healthy foods, like SPINACH, such as in the smoothie recipe provided below. The smoothie combines fruits and vegetables in a way that kids love and is packed full of nutrient-rich GREEN STUFF!  Make one today and share your green mustache photo on our Facebook page: facebook.com/Alaska.4H.

To Make the Best Better!
The 4-H Motto is "To Make the Best Better". 
Alaska 4-H'ers are asking their peers to help them in leading a Revolution of Responsibility - a movement for positive change in their community and in turn every community across the world! 4-H youth are real people, your neighbors, your classmates and your friends with a mission: a revolution for doing the RIGHT thing, making the best better, leaping high over hurdles, making a measurable difference right where they live for the greater of their community, their country and their world. 

That takes uncommon commitment.
