About One Day 4-H:

Texas 4-H members have always been proud of the communities they call home. Whether they live in urban or in rural areas, they are contributing and caring citizens. one day 4-H is a way for all 4-H members to take one day to say “thank you” to their communities, county, and state for all the support they have provided to 4-H members for more than 100 years. One Day 4-H will occur on October 10, 2009, in every county across Texas. It enables each 4-H member to recruit friends to help make their communities better through adopting a service project. These projects can be done as individuals or as an entire county 4-H Program. Regardless of the project that is chosen, it is one day to make a difference!
