As 4-H members, we make a commitment. A commitment to ourselves, and those around us. Our commitment is to four H’s – head, heart, hands, and health. These are the words that hundreds, or thousands, of 4-H members say – and work to live by. Each time we say the pledge, we promise to give our all – not just for me, or my club, or my community – but also for the whole world.
As a way to recognize the 4-H members who truly embrace and live this commitment, Wisconsin has developed The Wisconsin Key Award: one of the highest honors awarded to top-notch 4-H members in their 11th -13th grade years. Young people who can say, in true 4-H ways, that they have dedicated their heads, hearts, hands and health to their club, their community, their country and their world deserve recognition and honor.
Young people for this award can either SELF NOMINATE themselves or BE NOMINATED by a club leader or the Jefferson County 4-H Educator who can vouch for their 4-H commitment. Often, young people don’t see the good they do – and the nomination process can be a way of sharing with young people they are not only seen, but commended.
