General EligibilityArkansas 4-H is the youth development program, a part of the Family, Youth and 4-H Education program, of the Cooperative Extension Service, Division of Agriculture, University of Arkansas. The Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service offers its programs to all youth between the ages of 5 and 19 regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, gender, disability, marital or veteran status, or any other legally protected status. Agents and volunteers should consult the "all reasonable effort" procedures in organizing and maintaining 4-H clubs according to Affirmative Action guidelines included in the Arkansas Cooperative Extension Policies. All youth participating in 4-H should have the same opportunity to equal training in 4-H work. All 4-H work should be conducted in such a manner that the Extension organization would not be criticized for the selection of winners. Children of Extension personnel enrolled in the 4-H club program are eligible to compete in all 4-H programs and activities and are, therefore, eligible for all county, district, state, and national awards. A 4-H member may not participate in a state 4-H competitive activity or awards program unless he or she is eligible to actually receive or accept the top award or honor if he or she should be named the winner. Club Awards: In programs or activities which offer competitive honors or awards to clubs or counties, a club or county is eligible to receive the honors or awards only twice in succession. This does not apply to County Honor Clubs or State Honor Clubs which are named on the basis of a standard of excellence rather than competition. |
