H.R. No. 674

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Many students in Texas 4-H are gathering in Austin
	on March 29, 2023, in celebration of 4-H Day at the State Capitol;
	and
	WHEREAS, Established as an agricultural club in Jack County
	in 1908, 4-H is now the largest youth development program in the
	state, with more than 550,000 students from every Texas county
	taking part each year; the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and
	the Prairie View A&M Cooperative Extension Program administer the
	program and are assisted by more than 29,000 trained volunteers;
	and
	WHEREAS, The organization's name stands for Head, Heart,
	Hands, and Health, reflecting different aspects of an individual's
	personal and social responsibilities; guided by the motto "to make
	the best better," today's clubs emphasize leadership, citizenship,
	and strong character, help members to acquire valuable life skills,
	and foster readiness for college and the workplace; participants
	have the opportunity to engage in projects related not only to
	agriculture but also to science, engineering, technology, natural
	resources, and healthy lifestyles; in Texas, the most popular
	programs are food and nutrition, agriculture awareness and
	education, gardening and horticulture, and veterinary science; and
	WHEREAS, According to a study conducted by the Institute for
	Applied Research in Youth Development at Tufts University, 4-H
	participants are four times more likely than their peers to
	contribute to their communities; they are also twice as likely to
	make healthier choices and to participate in science programs
	outside of school; and
	WHEREAS, Since its inception, 4-H has enriched the lives of
	countless youths across the Lone Star State, and the program's
	alumni have gone on to make a lasting, positive difference in their
	communities and beyond; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize March 29, 2023, as 4-H Day at the State
	Capitol and extend to all those in attendance sincere best wishes
	for a memorable and productive event.
