National 4-H highlights opportunities for all

The National 4-H program is celebrating its impact on youth across the country.

Jodi Schulz oversees Michigan’s 4-H program.

“Right now, is the 80^th consecutive National 4-H Week and our theme for National 4-H Week is opportunity for all,” she shares.

Schulz says educational opportunities for young people can be in-person through clubs, schools, and online covering a variety of topics.

“If it’s communications, it’s about money management, learning about government, clothing and textiles, food and nutrition, any of those things we have a program for,” she explains.

Michigan is celebrating the week with a photo and video contest for volunteers, youth, and alumni over social media with the hashtag #ILOVEMI4H. 

National 4-H Week runs through October 8^th.

Schulz is currently serving as interim associate director of the MSU Extension Children and Family Institute which includes the Michigan 4-H program.
