This week, 4-H Groups across the country are showcasing what they have to offer.

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, Kendra Wallace, 4-H Coordinator for the U of I Extension for DeWitt, Macon, and Piatt Counties explains 4-H is the largest national youth organization. Over the years 4-H has evolved from being just agriculture focused, and now they have an assortment of programs for kids to explore. 

October 7th through the 13th is National 4-H Week. Wallace says they're celebrating by hosting a series of activities like the show book photo and drawing contest. 

According to Wallace, this is the perfect time for students to get involved in 4-H because this week kicks off the year. She notes some clubs have already begun meeting for the year. 

If your student is interested in 4-H, but not quite sure, the Extension invites them to attend a meeting to see if it's for them. Find more information about 4-H in DeWitt, Macon, and Piatt Counties at extension.illinois.edu/dmp.
