The deadline for the applications will be Septemeber 16, 2024 so they can be judged in time for the Achievement Celebration. Top Achievement Applications in each age group receive $100 and be eligible to win up to 2 project pins each year. There are also special awards for outstanding community service and leadership.

Diamon Clover Award: The Nebraska 4-H Diamond Clover program encourages 4-H youth to engage in a variety of programs, projects, and activities that will enable youth to acquire skills and abilities that will prepare them for success in the future. The program is designed to reach and recognize all youth engaged in 4-H, from club members and campers to school enrichment, afterschool, and special interest program participants.
The program consists of six levels that require a young person to plan and report a broad range of age-appropriate accomplishments. For each level, the Nebraska 4-H Diamond Clover program provides a list of accomplishments from which 4-H youth choose their goals. The accomplishments increase in quantity and difficulty for each level. At the beginning of the 4-H year, participants plan what to accomplish and at the end of the 4-H year, they report on their completed accomplishments. Successful completion of a level's Plan & Report form results in a 4-H youth earning that level of the Diamond Clover program. To learn more or download forms, visit https://4h.unl.edu/diamond-clover
