PULLMAN, Wash. — Washington State 4-H has created a hall of fame and inducted 100 members as part of its centennial celebration.
Induction of the first one hundred people was announced at a State 4-H Forum in Ocean Shores on Oct. 18.
More than 93,500 Washington youths are enrolled in 4-H programs; over 20,300 are enrolled in 1,733 clubs. Another 73,000 participate in a variety of other 4-H activities, such as the school enrichment program, day camps and overnight camping.
More than 10,300 adult volunteers support 4-H, which is Washington State University Cooperative Extension’s informal, educational program for today’s young people.
