The 4-H Community
4-H has become an active participant in several social media networks, where we have built a strong community of individuals who wish to participate in positive, productive conversation.
The 4-H Online Community includes the 4-H web page, 4-H Facebook page, and 4-H Twitter feed, and is managed and monitored by National 4-H Council.
A team at Council monitors each of the online environments daily to make sure postings and discussions are appropriate in nature. Council responds occasionally, and directs a participant’s questions or concerns to the appropriate party. For example, if a member of the page posts something that should be dealt with by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture at USDA, or at the State or County level, Council will notify the member and provide the contact information of the appropriate resource.
Users in these communities should comply with age requirements regulated by the sites. Most sites require parental permission if under age 13.
