4-H does not collect fees from youngsters to join; instead, it relies on private donations to support programming. Yet 4-H needs funds for a variety of programs—workbooks and manuals for kids who otherwise could not participate in 4-H and transportation for youth attending county and statewide meetings. Funds raised through this campaign will also provide a secure and steady income to support established and growing programs and provide basic equipment so leaders and volunteers can help youngsters be successful.
