- Here are some great ways to start meetings with an ice breaker ! https://extension.umn.edu/4-h-clubs/leading-4-h-club#welcome-2978460
- Another great idea for clubs is to create a group agreement. A group agreement is used to make sure youth feel comfortable and safe in their learning environment!

Minnesota 4-H statewide service project
Each year, the Minnesota 4-H State Ambassadors select a service theme to engage all Minnesota 4-H youth in learning about a community issue and taking steps to make a positive, collective impact. The theme is determined by input collected from youth at leadership conferences, 4-H staff across the state and the state ambassadors.
The statewide service theme for the 2022-2023 program year is “Branch Out and Go Green with Minnesota 4-H,” which encourages youth to perform service that has a positive impact on the environment. The state ambassadors have created 10 challenges for individual youth and/or youth groups to give back to their community and be eco-friendly.
Each Month the State Ambassadors Challenges County 4-H Clubs to participate in these Monthly Service projects. October is building and donating Bat Houses to learn more about the project please check out https://extension.umn.edu/4-h-ambassadors/minnesota-4-h-statewide-service-project#october---build-and-donate-bat-houses-3253461
