Every day, when millions of young people, alumni, volunteers, parents, educators, elected officials and supporters say the 4-H pledge, they are reaffirming a commitment to transformation—by using their heads, hearts, hands and health.

Clear thinking 4-H youth are embracing science and meaningful science-based careers in order to develop new solutions to today’s big issues. They are showing greater loyalty and larger service in their own communities; in fact, they’re four times more likely to give back than their peers. And, they’re living better, healthier lives—lives with meaning and purpose. This is the 4-H movement. 4-H youth are 4X more likely to give back to their communities.

But to understand the real power of the clover, you have to understand the power of one of the world’s most innovative and effective educational ideas ever—theCooperative Extension System and the land-grant university mission. Built to extend James C. Borel the knowledge of America’s public universities, this partnership of county, state and federal resources has been changing lives Chair, National 4-H Council for more than 100 years. Executive Vice President DuPont Company 4-H and Cooperative Extension have always identified local needs and then applied innovative solutions to achieve their mission. A century ago, 4-H youth were preparing to become leaders in our country’s primary economic sector. Today, it’s no different—just more far-reaching. Whether they are building mini robots to clean up a simulated environmental spill in Kansas or addressing hundreds of delagates at a national agriculture conference in Kenya, 4-H’ers are working together as catalysts for change at the crossroads of science, food and health.

Every community across the United States is connected in some way, as are all communities around the world. That means today’s responsible young citizen is a global citizen. We will need 4-H leaders from the more than 50 independent, country- led 4-H programs worldwide reaching all corners of the globe—from the U.S. and Canada, Kenya and Ghana, Costa Rica and Brazil, Korea and Vietnam.

For your support of this ambitious, but critically important work, we thank you. Together, we will bring the 4-H experience to millions more. That is our pledge to you.

4-H Youth Impact National 4-H Council 2013 Annual Report 3 SCIENCE Creating a STEM-Ready Workforce

Despite growing demand, the U.S. is failing to produce a ready supply of workers with science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills to meet the challenges of a global economy. By bringing STEM topics to youth in engaging, hands-on ways, from robotics and rocketry to agricultural science and alternative energy, 4-H is preparing the next generation of innovators and critical thinkers. One Million New Scientists. One Million New Ideas.™ The 4-H commitment to science has never been stronger. In 2012, 4-H met a bold five–year goal of engaging an additional one million young people in high-quality 4-H science programs through the power of the unique public-private partnership of the land-grant university system, 4-H and corporate partners.

The One Million New Scientists. One Million New Ideas™ campaign was born in 2007 and guided by leaders from Ohio State University Extension, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension and Virginia Cooperative Extension. Today, our STEM programs are implemented with the help of the entire 4-H movement that connects land-grant universities and their research expertise with regional science liaisons and a national management team including representation from National 4-H Council and 4-H National Headquarters (U.S. Department of Agriculture/National Institute of Food and Agriculture).

Creating a STEM-Ready Workforce National 4-H Council 2013 Annual Report 5 4-H National Youth Science Day Each year on 4-H National Youth Science Day (NYSD), millions of young people become scientists for the day with the help of the 4-H National Science Experiment. The 2012 experiment, 4-H Eco-Bot Challenge, designed by Ohio State University Extension, taught youth about robotic engineering concepts as they built a mini robot to clean up a simulated environmental spill.

The fifth annual event was a major success achieving the greatest reach since its inception. More than 8,900 experiment kits were sold, 861 NYSD events were reported and all 50 states participated along with all U.S. Territories and 4H’ers at U.S. military bases around the world.

Bringing Science to Metro Areas Key partners supporting 4-H Science: When urban 4-H teenagers in several states became teachers and trainers in the Teens Teaching Biotechnology project, the learning had a triple bottom line—the teens, the youth they taught and adult leaders all learned from the experience. It is the kind of learning many 4-H professionals and several land-grant universities plan to bring to even more youth in urban communities with the help of a promising practices guide developed by Rutgers Cooperative Extension.

The benchmarks far exceeded expected reach, including:

• Empowering over 45,000 youth and adults with opportunities to learn how to achieve healthier lifestyles, resulting in a 52% increase over the initial goal of reaching 30,000 youth and adults.

4-H Around the World National 4-H Council 2013 Annual Report 11 Highlight: Africa The success of the Enterprise Gardens model is growing in Kenya, Ghana and Tanzania where young people are learning new skills and plowing earnings from their work back into the gardens. The hands-on initiative is also inspiring the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs to explore careers in agriculture and prepare themselves for a role in feeding the world.

The inaugural meeting of the Africa Leadership Institute brought together 4-H program leaders from the continent for partnership building, knowledge sharing and networking.

The Youth Solution in Kenya Dancan Odhiambo Inda’s story is a powerful example of how a 16-year-old young man is stepping up in major ways for his community and his country. At the 3rd Agricultural Sector Development Forum in Kenya, Dancan addressed 1,500 delegates with a passionate plea to engage young people in the agriculture industry. The Secretary of Agriculture responded in a positive way and is moving ahead with plans to engage more youth in agriculture.

Dancan (right) is a member of the 4-K Club at Nyamninia Primary School. He joined the club in 2009, not long after a group of orphaned students started it. Club members are learning to run school-based agribusinesses as well as leadership and citizenship skills. In addition, the money 4-K Club members raise through their agribusinesses benefits the school in many ways. The club pays for school uniforms, staff salaries, books, blankets, utility bills and better nutrition for HIV infected students. The rest of their earnings are re-invested in their businesses and support their own families. The “K”s stand for Kuugana Kufanya Kusaidia Kenya (Uniting, Working, to Help Kenya)
