4-H Friends and Alumni Association Membership Drive

All former 4-Her’s and those who were never in 4-H but want to support the program and Texas youth are invited to join the 4-H Friends and Alumni Association. The association's goal is to build and foster relationships among Texans who support the development programs of 4-H and who believe that the future of our nation depends on the success of reaching today’s youth with the values and opportunities provided through 4-H. 4-H is the largest youth development organization in the state. Don't you want to be a part of that great accomplishment? Each year, 4-H touches the lives of more than a million children through club membership, special interest groups, school enrichment programs, nutrition programs, and outdoor adventures.

As a member of the Texas 4-H Friends and Alumni Association you will receive discount privileges from corporate sponsors, admission into hospitality rooms, a quarterly newsletter, an invitation to our annual gala, and the chance to touch the life of a 4-H'er. Memberships are open to individuals, regardless of whether or not you were in 4-H, and there are also corporate sponsorships available. Membership dues provide funding for the Texas 4-H Friends and Alumni scholarships and provide grant money to county 4-H programs for the purpose of expanding the 4-H program.

Support 4-H and touch the life of a 4-H’er by joining the 4-H Friends and Alumni Association today. Membership applications are available in the County Extension Office or online at www.texas4hfriends.org>.
