Dear Parent/Guardian:

The mission of National 4-H Council is to empower youth in 4-H programs to reach their full potential working and learning in partnership with caring adults. To assess our success in this endeavor, we are conducting an annual study to measure the impact of 4-H on youth, and we invite your 4-H’er(s) to respond. This study is also being replicated by 4-H programs in other states nationwide and is described in greater detail below.

You are voluntarily deciding whether or not to allow your child to participate in this study. By allowing your child to complete and submit their survey response, you have given your permission for your child to participate. Your child can withdraw from the study at any time. Please review the Youth Assent information below with your child before beginning the survey.

If participating, please complete the survey by March 31, 2022. The survey link can be accessed by clinking on Participate in the 2022 National 4-H Index Survey in the bottom of this email. Please Review Youth Assent information before beginning the survey. When asked which University your club is affiliated with, please choose Prairie View A&M University.

If you have any questions about this survey, please contact your local 4-H Office, or contact Guadalupe Castro (gucastro@pvamu.edu) 4-H Extension Program Specialist. Thank you for your time and interest, it is greatly appreciated.
