Poway 4-H kicked off the month of November by earning community service hours volunteering for the non-profit organization, Anvil of Hope. Youth members helped by collecting and sorting donations that will be given to families in need.

Poway 4-H’s projects are in full swing. So far this month Vet Science, Poultry, Dairy Goats, Goat Packing, Swine and Crafts have met with many more to come like Outdoor Adventures, Dogs, Reptiles and Sewing. There is something for everyone to enjoy!

Coming up: Poway 4-H will be at the Poway Farmers Market on Saturday, November 27, 2021, from 8am-1pm. We will be selling handmade crafts and sharing some surprise guests. We will also be at Poway’s Christmas in the Park on Saturday, December 11, 2021, from 3:30pm - 8:30pm. We will have crafts to share and will be selling goat milk soap made by the youth members with their own goats’ milk! We look forward to seeing you at these events!

This is shaping up to be an exciting season! The October Community Meeting was held at the Poway Elks Lodge and we announced all the fun events coming up in the near future, and then the members played a fun ice breaker to get to know one another. 

Project Meetings begin this month!  Each project meets once a month and this month will be the first meeting for the Outdoor Adventures (pumpkin patch & corn maze), Dairy Goats (introduction to goats), Goat Packing (1st walk with goats), Poultry (meet the chickens & make automatic waterers), Reptiles, Dogs, Crafts (make chunky clay rings), Horse, Rabbits, and Sewing & Textiles (create cloth pumpkins). 

We also have several community events like making goat milk soap, farmers market booth and photo op, and a petting zoo on Halloween in Rancho Bernardo!

It is never too late to enroll and be a part of all the fun!  

Each month Poway 4-H has a Community Meeting where the members go through the business parts of the club, like reviewing the budget, recapping old business and events, discussing new business, announcing upcoming events, planning community service and more.  These meetings are run by the teen officers in a parliamentary style where youth learn Robert’s Rules of Order to make motions and vote. While the youth are at the meeting the parents can step away to ask the parent volunteers and leaders questions about the club and discuss opportunities and upcoming events.

Join us for the Poway 4-H Kick-Off 2021-2022 Community Meeting
​on Sunday, August 15th at 3pm at the Poway Community Park Picnic Area #1 
​(between the Mickey Cafagna Community Center and the Poway Swim Center)

Poway 4-H were invited to support families in need by collecting canned soups and kitchen gadgets, like can openers, spatulas, chip clips, and timers to be distributed by CRC at their annual Holiday Gift Basket event where they intend to distribute gifts and food to 900 families who are struggling financially over the holidays. 

Poway 4-H youth plan to meet via Zoom for a card-making event.  We will each create a few holiday cards that will then be delivered to seniors facilities or mailed to overseas troops. 

Poway 4-H plans to create a fun video montage of our members to offer encouragement and positivity to people who are facing social isolation. 

Contact us to share any other ideas or suggestions of ways that the members of Poway 4-H can offer community services, we are happy to serve.

Looking forward to catching up with our current members and meeting new youth and parents at the next Community Meeting - Wednesday, October 7th at 6:30pm via Zoom Conference.  To get the link, please click contact us and drop us a note and we will share the zoom link with you so you can check it out!
