The Illinois 4-H is making a call for alumni!  New identification campaign called “4-H Grown” is promoting alumni of the 4-H to show some of the faces of the over 25 million Americans who share a unique bond. The campaign will run from June 1st through August 31st and any alumni not yet registered for the alumni association are encouraged to register for a free Illinois 4-H Alumni Association membership.  Tina Veal, a 4-H Constituent and Engagement Manager says that 4-H alumni know the impact made on youth and the hope is that they will continue to create a lifelong connection to support the next generation of leaders. 

You can show your support for your local 4-H program by those who aren’t registered as a member registering.  First place for the county that registers the most will receive $300, second place $200, and third place $100 towards local program support. Individuals who register will be entered into a drawing to receive one of four prizes of $50 in credit towards Illinois 4-H alumni apparel. 

To register and reconnect with Illinois 4-H individuals are encouraged to visit go.illinois.edu/4halum. Members will be kept current on the Illinois 4-H program, learn about alumni opportunities to engage, and receive a quarterly newsletter.  The Illinois 4-H Alumni Association was established in 2016 and sought members to build a network of 4-H alums throughout Illinois and beyond.
