4-H Healthy Living

For anyone who knows the 4-H pledge, “health” is a cornerstone of our organization. The 4-H Healthy Living Mission Mandate is intended to reposition health to its important and appropriate place within the 4-H Program. 4-H Healthy Living encompasses a holistic approach including healthy eating habits, physical fitness, the capacity to recognize and direct emotions, and the ability to develop and maintain positive social interactions and relationships. California 4-H is focusing efforts on increasing healthy living opportunities and strengthening the presence of healthy living themes throughout existing programs, activities and curriculum. For more information, visit www.ca4h.org/projects/healthyliving.

California 4-H is offering mini-grants for youth-directed healthy living projects. 4-H members are encouraged to apply for funding, lead the project, and partner with one or more adults throughout the process.

The proposed healthy living project must be implemented with a focus on service-learning, leadership and/or youth-adult partnerships.
