Yamhill County 4-H Oregon

Call Directions Website

Yamhill County 4-H Oregon 4-H is a youth development program of the OSU Extension Service. 4-H is a youth outreach program of the Oregon State University Extension Service.

It is present in nearly every county across the United States, in 30 other countries and on every Army Base around the world. It reaches 8 million youth annually. Although most people think 4-H is all about cooking or cows, it is really about building productive and successful citizens through youth development. Youth development is defined as: the process of growing up and developing one’s capacities in positive ways. Research shows that when you get involved in meaningful activities in the context of your community not only does it promote healthy development (in terms of careers, life skills, and leadership), but it also has positive outcomes like providing motivation to avoid health risks during the teen years.
4-H programs have a strong, lasting influence on young people and their health behaviors. 4-H alumni share three common characteristics:
1) strong leadership skills
2) a sense of family and community
3) being active, productive, and caring citizens.

We’re looking for fresh cut flower donations to help our talented 4-H youth create beautiful floral arrangements during the Yamhill County Fair! 💐

If you have flowers blooming in your garden, we’d love to share them with our youth. Every stem provides an opportunity for members to learn new skills, express their creativity, and create beautiful displays for our community to enjoy.

✨ Did you know? Flower donations are tax-deductible, and we’re happy to provide a donation receipt upon request.

🌼 Need a bucket? We can provide buckets for harvesting your flowers, or you’re welcome to use your own. If you bring your own bucket, please label it with your name and contact information so we can return it to you after fair.

Thank you to Shady Maple Farm who has been wonderful donors to us for the last 3 years and this year as well!

Donor posters will be displayed in the horticulture area for the duration of the Yamhill County Fair!

🐄🐑🐐🐖🐎 Master Showmanship Clinic Success! 🐎🐖🐐🐑🐄

Our youth had the opportunity to sharpen their showmanship skills, build confidence in the ring, and learn techniques they can carry with them throughout fair season. From refining the small details to practicing strong sportsmanship and presentation, every participant walked away with new knowledge and valuable hands-on experience from their peers!

A huge thank you goes to our incredible volunteer, Paula Brown, for the countless hours of planning, organizing, and coordinating this event. Your dedication to creating meaningful learning opportunities for our youth does not go unnoticed. Because of your hard work and passion, these exhibitors have the chance to grow, gain confidence, and become even better showmen and showwomen.

We are so grateful for volunteers like Paula who invest their time and talents into the future of 4-H. 💚 Thank you to everyone who helped make today a success, and best of luck to all of our exhibitors as they head into fair season!

This morning was all about making a difference, one act of kindness at a time.✨

Our youth spent the day giving back in so many meaningful ways! Creating heartfelt cards for children through Make-A-Wish Oregon, making enrichment toys for shelter dogs, and spending time socializing animals at Heartland Humane Shelter.

Service isn’t always grand gestures. Sometimes it’s a kind message, a handmade toy, or simply taking the time to show love and compassion. These experiences remind our youth that even the smallest acts can have a lasting impact on someone’s life whether they have two legs or four.

We are so proud of the kindness, empathy, and leadership they demonstrated today.

Thank you to our community partners for giving our youth the opportunity to serve and make a difference!🍀
