4-H Global Citizenship Project

The 4‑H Global Citizenship Project encourages youth to learn about other cultures, countries, and international perspectives.

  • Unit 1 introduces members to the study of a selected country through pen‑pal exchanges, cultural festivals, and presentations, culminating in an exhibit notebook.
  • Unit 2 allows Senior members to research and present on global issues and optionally participate in the Colorado GROW Youth Institute, where they investigate food insecurity and propose solutions.
  • Unit 3 involves hosting an international delegate and documenting the experience.
  • Unit 4 offers members ages 11–18 the chance to travel abroad or stay with a host family, creating an exhibit that reflects their learning and builds intercultural understanding.
