State Council 4-H Health Challenge!

The North Carolina State 4-H Council is focusing on The 4th H: Health as our State Project this year. As a part of this project, the State 4-H Council Officers have developed a monthly health challenge and we want you and your 4-H'ers to participate! Each month a new challenge, resources and helpful hints will be shared through both the State 4-H Council Facebook page and the North Carolina 4-H Facebook page. The challenges will relate to dietary, physical and mental health and will be posted a few days before the start of each month.

If participants meet the monthly goal, they will be asked to submit their information here: http://goo.gl/forms/tJGVmC62eK . This is an honor system and one 4-H youth and one adult (employee or volunteer) will be randomly selected each month to receive a health related prize! Winners will be announced through Facebook! Please share this information widely and let people know about this great opportunity! Thank you for your support of our State 4-H Project!
