                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing support for the designation of October 2 through October 8, 
                    2022, as ``National 4-H Week''.

Whereas 4-H is the largest youth development organization in the United States, 
        supporting nearly 6,000,000 young people across the country;
Whereas 4-H helps young people become confident, independent, resilient, and 
        compassionate leaders;
Whereas 4-H is delivered by the Cooperative Extension System, a community of 
        more than 100 land-grant universities across the United States that 
        provides experiences for young people to learn through hands-on projects 
        in the important areas of health, science, agriculture, and civic 
        engagement;
Whereas the National Institute of Food and Agriculture of the Department of 
        Agriculture serves as the Federal partner of 4-H in collaboration with 
        land-grant universities, the Cooperative Extension System, and the 
        National 4-H Council;
Whereas National 4-H Week showcases the incredible ways that 4-H provides 
        opportunities for all young people and highlights the remarkable members 
        of 4-H in all 50 States and across the globe who work each day to make a 
        positive impact on other individuals;
Whereas the 4-H network of nearly 500,000 volunteers and 3,500 professionals 
        provides caring and supportive mentoring to all members of 4-H, helping 
        members to grow into true leaders, entrepreneurs, and visionaries; and
Whereas members of 4-H will celebrate ``National 4-H Week'' during the week of 
        October 2 through October 8, 2022: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the designation of ``National 4-H Week'';
            (2) recognizes the important role of 4-H in youth 
        development and education; and
            (3) encourages all citizens to recognize 4-H for the 
        significant impact the organization and members have made and 
        continue to make by empowering young people with the skills 
        needed to lead for a lifetime.
