4-H Slogan - Learning by doing.
4-H motto - To make the best better.
The Franklin County 4-H Council represents all of the 4-H clubs in Franklin County. Adult advisors and several teens meet with the purpose of enhancing the efforts of the O.S.U. Franklin County Extension Office - who oversee the 4-H program.
The Franklin County Commisioners are a key partner and funder for O.S.U. Extension. The Franklin County Extension Office greatly values the working relationship they have with the current 2013 commisioners: John O'Grady, Paula Brooks and Marilyn Brown. http://www.franklincountyohio.gov/Commissioners/
The Central Ohio Walk and Serve-a-palooza is being organized with a number of benefits for the 4-H members at the forefront of the planning efforts.
- focus on the community needs
- teambuilding by asking 4-H club members to work together to prepare the supplies
- leadership skills developed by giving ideas and thinking through logistics
- public speaking skills by working with the community on event day, explaining how to do the activities
