Clubs of Excellence
Clubs of Excellence | Nebraska 4-H | Nebraska
Due September 15.
The overall goal of 4‑H Clubs is to develop enthusiastic young people who boldly take action to demonstrate life skills as capable, caring, competent kids of character thus contributing to the improvement of themselves, their family, their club, their community, and their world. One way clubs might choose to measure their success in meeting that goal is their ability to gain status as a Nebraska 4‑H Club of Excellence. To receive the designation as a Nebraska 4‑H Club of Excellence, clubs must meet a certain set of criteria and document how this criterion was met. Clubs meeting the requirements will initially receive a certificate. In subsequent years clubs successfully meeting the requirements will receive a special insignia to place on their certificate. Clubs must apply annually to receive this recognition.
If the Club meets all the requirements, they will receive a certificate from their local Extension office.
