development.

etc.) and report such abuse, if observed. Any actions, such as conviction for child abuse or
neglect, violent crimes, unethical behavior, substance abuse, verbal abuse, physical abuse,
mismanagement of 4-H funds, or other serious offenses will not be tolerated.
• Respect, adhere to, and enforce the rules, policies and guidelines established at the county and
state levels for the 4-H Youth Development Program.

animal care.
• Operate machinery, vehicles, and other equipment in a safe and responsible manner when
working with youth and adults participating in 4-H Youth Development programs.

services from any specific places of business.
• Comply with all applicable laws of the city, county, and state of residence and/or location of 4-H
activity.
• Handle all concerns regarding county/area 4-H program management internally within the

areas that need improvement, plans and goals for the future. Members will be awarded a gold, silver or
bronze award based on the quality of their interview and project materials.

is neat, up to date and complete with oral presentation. Record books will not be accepted without a
