Giving back to our community, both local and global, is a huge part of the 4-H experience. See a small selection of what San Diego County 4-H’ers have access to as part of our program and a few you can do on your own.
Clean Up Your Neighborhood!
We’ve all done beach and park cleanups but the next time you walk through your neighborhood with your parents bring a trash bag and pickup any trash others may have left behind. Have a contest to see who in your family can pick up the most trash on your walks!
Foster Kittens
4-H youth and families volunteer with local animal rescue organizations in their catteries and as foster families. Youth members can participate in cat projects while applying their knowledge directly to raising foster kittens.
Petting Zoos
Every year, 4-H youth bring animals out to city/county events, schools, care homes, and more, for petting zoos and presentations on different species. We miss being able to share our love of animals with the public and can’t wait to resume these events!
