Back then, potato, livestock, sewing, food and gardening clubs were formed for young people. Since the 19505, the program has changed its philosophy and programs substantially. The emphasis in the '805 is "the personal development of youth in rural Ontario." In 4-H, members encouraged to develop self-confidence, a sense of responsibility and a good self-image. They are assisted in developing skills in communications, leadership, problemâ€"solving and goal setting. In 4-H, rural youth are offered the opportunity to learn about food production, processing and marketing, as well as the heritage and culture of Ontario through a variety of projects. are These include livestock and crop production, financial management, food preparation, nutrition, recreational activities and career development. There are currently about 17,000 4â€"H members and 3,600 leaders in Ontario. The green four-leaf clover is the official 4-H emblem. The four Hs are head, heart, hands and health. The 4-H pledge is: I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, my health to better living, for my club, my community and my country. The 4â€"H motto is "learn to do by doing." Members learn by listening,studying and seeing, but mostly through activities. - THE LITTLE BARN STUDIO ELDON R.
