4-H Families Count: Family Strengthening Awards
4-H youth development programs have always involved parents and family members, and helped build supportive communities. The exemplary 4-H programs recognized by this award are those that place a special emphasis on increasing opportunities and supportive networks for families, children, and youth through educational programs and activities. Awards of $15,000 will be presented to five 4-H Programs of Distinction. This award gives financial recognition for existing programs, not funding for completely new programs. The financial award will be given to the 4-H Extension Unit (county extension office, state 4-H program office, state or local 4-H foundation, etc.) that is involved in the planning and implementation of the award winning program.
