Hopkins County Youth To Celebrate National 4-H Week October 2-8

The anticipation is building for National 4-H Week, during which millions of youth, parents, volunteers, and alums across the country will celebrate everything 4-H. Hopkins County 4-H will observe
National 4-H Week this year. They will showcase the incredible experiences that 4-H offers young people and highlight the remarkable 4-H youth in our community who work daily to impact those around them positively.

The theme of this year’s National 4-H Week is Opportunity 4 All, which highlights how 4-H offers an opportunity for youth to find their passion and explore learning about that passion and what
lies within it through hands-on learning experiences. The positive environment provided by 4-H mentors ensures that kids in every county in the country – from urban neighborhoods to suburban
schoolyards to rural farming communities ̶ are encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles and are empowered with the skills to lead in life and career.

Hopkins County 4-H believes in giving back to the community. We are partnering with the Sulphur Springs Middle School Communities in Schools to collect items needed to assist students. Contact
the Hopkins County Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Office at 903-885-3443 for a list.

We accept donations at the office during October. In Hopkins County, more than 200 4-H youth and 15 volunteers from the community were involved during the 2021-2022 4-H year.
