I BELIEVE:

The 4-H member is more important than the 4-H project.
Learning how to do the project is more important than the project itself.
4-H'ers should be their own best exhibits.
No award is worth sacrificing the reputation of a member or a leader.
Competition should be given no more emphasis than other fundamentals of 4-H work.
Enthusiasm is caught, not taught.
To learn by doing is fundamental in any sound educational program and is characteristic of the 4-H program.
Generally speaking, there is more than one good way to do most things.
Every 4-H member needs to be noticed, to feel important, to win and be praised (leaders, too).
Our job as leader is to teach 4-H members how to think, not what to think.

What is 4-H?
4-H is a non-formal educational, youth development program offered to individuals age 5 to 19. Regardless of their race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, gender, or handicap.  Ohio 4-H membership is for young people age 5 or in Kindergarten through age 18, as of January 1.
Youth are involved in hands-on, experiential learning that allows learning by doing. All 4-H programs focus on active involvement and quality experiences which stimulate lifelong learning of values and skills
