Learning about citizenship is an important part of 4-H. Citizenship includes learning about the rights and duties of a citizen, touring government buildings, following the issues in an election, voting, and much more. What a great year to learn about citizenship! The Stars and Stripes Citizenship Award was created by 4-H alumni Janet and Briana Gover to reward one teen 4-H member each year for his or her citizenship activity. The winner will receive a trip to NC 4-H Citizenship Focus. This award is given in memory of former 4-H Agent, Earl Smith, who loved his church, family, and his country. Flag etiquette was his specialty. A committee of 4-H alumni will determine the award winner each year.

Are there citizenship activities that you can do? Start keeping track of them each year and record them in your 4-H project record. If you are age 14-18 as of January 1, 2020, click here for the Stars-and-Stripes-Citizenship-Award-Packet. You may be the winner of the award this year!

I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living for my club, my community, my country and my world.
