National Creed for Officers The 4-H member is more important than the 4-H project. Learning how to do the project is more important than the project itself. 4-H'ers should be their own best exhibits. No award is worth sacrificing the reputation of a member or a leader. Competition should be given no more emphasis than other fundamentals of 4-H work. Enthusiasm is caught, not taught. To learn by doing is fundamental in any sound educational programs and is characteristic of the 4-H program. Generally speaking, there is more than one good way to do most good things. Every 4-H member needs to be noticed, to feel important, to win and be praised (leaders , too). Our job as a leader is to teach 4-H members how to think, not what to think. Source: Anonymous		Membership Membership in the Association is open to every 4-H volunteer who directly or indirectly works with youth. The educational philosophy is to promote teaming with other volunteers and 4-H Extension Agents and staff; to grow in leadership through utilization of skills in practical program planning, implementation and evaluation.
