| WHEREAS, The Texas 4-H Youth Development Program has provided | ||
| invaluable experience-based training for young people across the | ||

| March 14, 2019, in celebration of 4-H Day at the State Capitol; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Established as an agricultural club in Jack County | ||
| in 1908, 4-H is now the largest youth development program in the | ||
| state, with more than 522,000 students from every Texas county | ||
| taking part each year; the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and | ||
| the Prairie View A&M Cooperative Extension Program administer the | ||

| personal and social responsibilities; guided by the motto "to make | ||
| the best better," today's clubs emphasize leadership, citizenship, | ||
| and strong character, help members to acquire valuable life skills, | ||
| and foster readiness for college and the workplace; participants | ||
| can engage in projects related not only to agriculture but also | ||
| science, engineering, technology, natural resources, and healthy | ||
| lifestyles; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Since its inception, 4-H has enriched the lives of | ||
