Parent & Adult Involvement
Committee
Mission Statement
The 4-H Parent & Adult Involvement Committee will
better inform the parents of 4-H'ers and community
leaders about all of the opportunities that 4-H can offer
youth. Also, this program is designed to promote adult
involvement in the 4-H program. Our short-term goals
are to give parents a better understanding of the
activities that are offered by the 4-H club and to motivate
involvement of our parents and adults. Our long term
goals are to have increased parent involvement at local,
parish, and state levels

A note from Alyssa the founder……
Why I started this committee.
I believe that it is vital to 4-H’s existence to have parents and adult leaders involved in the events
and activities that make up 4-H. The youth of the 4-H club look up to adults as roll models, through
education and positive encouragement we hope to inspire the adults, so that the youth will be more
motivated to participate and succeed in all the opportunities that 4-H has to offer.
What this committee is about.
This committee recognizes the need for increased involvement of parents and adult in our 4-H
program. The 4-H club is an excellent opportunity to help youth find themselves and develop life skills.
We believe that the youth will be able to better discover themselves and develop their skills if they are
lead by a positive example. We would like to see more adults in our community involved in the activities
of 4-H, so that the youth of 4-H will be able to get the most out of the 4-H program.
Why I believe parents & adults are important to the 4-H program.
The adults that I have encountered through out my 4-H career have each helped me develop my
skills in a different way. They have helped me to become confident in my abilities and given me the tools
needed to use my abilities to the fullest. Each child joins 4-H with a different interest and expectation in
mind. I believe that there is a place for every adult who wants to be involved. Each adult can assist every
child in reaching their goal and building the child’s confidence to succeed in everyday life. A positive
example goes a long way in a child’s life. Without parents or adult volunteers, the 4-H club would not be
as successful.
Comments on Parent and Adult
Involvement with 4-H
4-Hers are able to learn by doing because of the
significant role parents and adult volunteers play in
our program. Through youth-adult partnerships and
the safety chaperones provide in 4-H activities,
young people are able to push their personal
boundaries and excel in project areas and character
growth.

4-H Needs Our Parents
4-H needs parents because when you are working with
your child and seeing them learn and get things out of a
wonderful program, you want to be there with your child.
Because with everything 4-H offers, it gives you the
opportunity to spend time with your child. Also 4-H needs
parent’s help because without their assistance your child
would not benefit as much from the program as they could.
Therefore, we need you, the 4-H parents.

Parents Working Hand in Hand
Parents are instrumental in the lives of their children.
Their guidance teaches the child core principals of life
and follows them in everything they do. Like parents, 4-H
tries to instill positive values in youth. 4-H teaches youth
to be caring citizens through using their head, heart,
hands, and health. Now, 4-H needs your help. Together
parents and 4-H form an unstoppable force that allows a
child to excel in all situations. 4-H is making the best
better every day and we need your help.

Parents…
Parents always want to know what their
children are up to and where they go. JOIN!
Simple as that, As much as we hate to admit kids,
need adults help! You can know what your child is
up too! Meet some of their friends and become
closer! We need to have great role models to
help your kids become a responsible leader one
day!

Why Are You Important to 4-H?
I have gone a long way with 4-H. I have been to D.C. a couple
times, Tennessee, and all across Louisiana. Why does any of this
matter, because I couldn’t have gone anywhere with out a
chaperone, an adult. In order for any 4-H program to be successful
we need you to chaperone, but also give input to help the 4-H
program. This is also a way for you to gain a great relationship with
your child. It helps you know what is going on in their life and puts
your mind at ease.

Why should you be a 4-H parent
Why should you be a 4-H parent
Everything rests on leadership, from fortune 500
companies to boy Scout troops. 4-H is not left out. While 4-H
does have one or two paid leaders in almost every parish that
is not enough. If the parents are not willing to help it would
be extremely difficult to take even fifteen 4-H Hers to
activities on a regular basis. Through volunteering in 4-H there
is the opportunity to help children AND become a better
leader and person in general.
Hudson Smith
2007-2008 National Conference Delegate
Positive Adult Attitude is what we
need!
If parents see the positive influence that 4-H has
on their children’s lives, they will be more likely to
support the program by attending events and
encouraging involvement. Their excitement can be
contagious and their children can only benefit from
their support, as can the 4-H Program.

Education plus involvement equals success
“No matter what accomplishments you achieve,
somebody helps you.” Althea Gibson.
The parents and adults are those who can help each
4-Her achieve their goals. I now ask those parents and
adults to step up to the leadership position and make a
difference in the lives of many 4-Hers.
