"4-H has taught me not to let the fear of failing define my life..."

Michelle Hill

4-H has molded me into the person I am today. It showed me how to struggle and how to succeed. 4-H has taught me not to let the fear of failing define my life, but the success of struggling mold my future.

Not only has 4-H taught me about myself but has also instilled strong leadership skills in me. I have learned how to step up and be a leader but also when to step back and let others lead. 4-H is not just about cows and cookies but about finding yourself among all your 4-H ribbons and between the pages of your record book.

Kansas 4-H Gavel Club Program

The Kansas 4-H Gavel Club provides incentives and recognition opportunities to 4-H clubs contributing to the Foundation. Giving opportunities are available throughout the year and each gift counts toward the accumulative total. Individual ribbons - printed in gold, silver or bronze - are awarded each January.

First time Gold Gavel Clubs receive an engraved gavel and sounding block, plus a dated ribbon the first year. Clubs receive a dated ribbon each year of giving thereafter.

New Silver and Bronze Gavel Clubs receive the gavel plus a dated ribbon the first year. A dated ribbon commemorates each year of giving for clubs.

Gavel Club donor levels

  • Gold Gavel Club at $3 per member
  • Silver Gavel Club at $2 per member
  • Bronze Gavel Club at $1 per member
