“We hope to make 4-H Day at Lucus Oil Speedway an annual event,” said Velynda Cameron, a 4-H youth development specialist with University of Missouri Extension. “It will be a fun, family event and it also introduces a large audience to our 4-H youth program.”
WHAT IS 4-H?
Missouri 4-H is University of Missouri Extension's youth development program. Studies show 4-H’ers have three times greater interest in science than non-4-H peers and are 70 percent more likely to go to college. Over 5,000 youth in urban communities join local 4-H clubs each year.
The 4-H program helps to create opportunities for young people to be valued, contributing members of their community. To learn more about 4-H -- the world’s largest youth-serving organization -- and how to get involved locally go online to http://mo4h.missouri.edu.
