Since 4-H is celebrating 100 years, the State 4-H Teen Council is issuing a 4-H Alumni Challenge to all Clemson Extension offices in the state to collect 4-H alumni names. Anyone who has ever been a member of 4-H is asked to contact their local Clemson Extension office to get their names on record. Many Extension offices will be hosting alumni events and there will be a statewide 4-H reunion in the Fall. The mission of the South Carolina 4-H Alumni Association is to connect the past, present and future 4-H’ers to support the 4-H youth development experience with enthusiasm and energy. South Carolina 4-H has been making the best better since 1908. It is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills. For more information about South Carolina 4-H or its centennial celebration, contact your county Extension office or go to: {www.clemson.edu/4h" }www.clemson.edu/4h.
