TEN RESPONSIBILITIES OF A 4-H CLUB MEMBER
1. Attend all of your club meetings.
You can’t be an active member if you’re not around. Arrive on time, and plan to stay until the meeting ends. If you miss a meeting for an important reason, let your leader or an officer know in advance if possible. Remember that 4-H meetings are held to:
• Get things done
• Bring up new ideas
• Build leadership skills of all members
• Be a change of pace from everyday activities
• Get to know other members
• Learn and have fun
2. Go to meetings with your ideas and share them with others.
3. Raise your hand and be called on before speaking. Only one person should talk at one time.
4. Listen to what others have to say. Even if you don’t agree with their opinions, it lets you hear other points of view. No matter what, you should respect their freedom of speech.
5. Be a friend. Get to know other members. Help out when needed. Not all members are the same, but no one is more important than another. Be a friend, and you’ll have a friend!
6. Know how to run a good meeting. “Parliamentary procedure” is used to make sure that:
• One thing at a time is discussed
• Courtesy is given to everyone
• Rules of the majority are followed
• Rights of the minority are protected
The official way to suggest something in a meeting is to “make a motion.” This is done by being called on (recognized) by the president and then saying, “I move that the club does...” Another club member seconds your motion. Then there is discussion and the club votes on the motion. That’s really all there is to it. It just takes practice.
7. Read your county 4-H newsletter! It is written for you. There is news about other 4-H clubs and upcoming 4-H events for you and your club. Keep your newsletter and other 4-H materials in a safe place. This will help you be a better member.
8. Give a demonstration. Are you afraid to speak in front of a group? Don’t worry, you can learn how to perfect your public speaking in 4-H. Public speaking skills will not only help your club, but also help you succeed in everything else you do. It’s not hard once you get started.
9. Work on your project. Start now by looking through your project book and setting your goals.
10. Enjoy your 4-H club. Have fun and learn at the same time!
