The Indiana 4-H Hall of Fame Task Force in cooperation with 4-H Youth Development and The Indiana 4-H Foundation present the nomination application for the 2010 Indiana 4-H Hall of Fame application.  The Hall of Fame honors 4-H volunteers, supporters, staff and pioneers who have made a significant statewide contribution to Indiana 4-H.  If you know someone who you feel fits this mold and would be a candidate for the Hall of Fame please contact the foundation at info@in.4h.org.

"Through 4-H I have learned the rewards of volunteerism far outweigh the pain of the work. I want to continue volunteering and giving of myself throughout my life." - Amy Wenning

"The projects I have taken required a great deal of time and hard work. This has, in part, shaped the work ethic I have. It has taught me the value of doing something well." - Sarah Haase

Loan Programs available for College Juniors and Seniors

The Indiana 4-H Foundation has two loan programs available to 4-H alums that are currently juniors or seniors in Purdue University programs. The funds have been endowed in memory of Dr. Robert Amick, a career extension professional, and in honor of the Myers Family, a 4-H family of many generations. Applications are accepted at any time and repayment is delayed until after graduation. Apply today through either of these programs.
