What is Arkansas 4-H doing to participate in Giving Tuesday?

One of 4-H's essential, core elements is generosity, and what better way to give back to 4-H than by giving generously yourself? During this upcoming Giving Tuesday event, we encourage our friends to give generously in ensuring Arkansas 4-H's success for future generations.

Friends of  Arkansas 4-H are encouraged to take part by making a donation to Arkansas 4-H on Tuesday, December 1. Gifts will support scholarships and “Arkansas 4-H’s Greatest Need,” a category that gives the most flexibility in meeting the needs of Arkansas 4-H members.

Arkansas 4-H alumni and friends are encouraged to use #GivingTuesday, #GivingTuesdayAR and #4HGivesGreen on social media to raise awareness among their peers. These hashtags are used to help enhance the social spirit of the campaign.
