Oklahoma 4-H Youth Development has launched a revitalized dog project aimed at strengthening the bond between youth and their canine companions while attracting new members. The initiative includes the Oklahoma Virtual Rally Dog program, modeled after American Kennel Club rules, where participants train and compete with their dogs through video submissions.
On Feb. 25, Oklahoma 4-H received a $25,000 grant from the Masonic Charity Foundation of Oklahoma during its 2025 Grants Presentation Luncheon. This donation will enhance the 4-H STEM programs, including initiatives like the 4-H Youth Leadership Innovate Summit.
The Oklahoma 4-H Youth Development program is launching a new initiative in May called Nature Navigators – Wellness in the Wild. This curriculum aims to encourage youth to engage with nature and learn about natural resources.
March 12-16, Oklahoma 4-H'ers will join a four-day summit in Washington, D.C for a workshop. Members will be able to choose from four tracks such as agri-science, community accelerators, healthy living and STEM.
