This House resolution expresses support for officially recognizing the week of October 4 through October 10, 2026, as National 4-H Week. 4-H is the largest youth development organization in the United States, serving nearly six million young people through hands-on learning projects in areas like health, science, agriculture, and civic engagement. The program is delivered through the Cooperative Extension System, which involves over 110 land-grant colleges and universities, and is supported federally by the Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture. The resolution highlights the role of 4-H in helping youth develop leadership skills, confidence, independence, and resilience. It also acknowledges the contributions of the 4-H network of volunteers and professionals who mentor members. By designating a National 4-H Week, the resolution aims to raise public awareness of the program’s benefits and encourage citizens to recognize the positive impact 4-H has on developing engaged, healthy, and productive citizens prepared for future challenges. While the resolution is symbolic and does not create new laws or funding, it serves to honor and promote an established youth program with a broad national reach.
