GROW GREEN. GROW STRONG. IT'S A GILLESPIE 4-H GREEN OUT.
Gillespie 4-H Week is our time to shine a spotlight on the incredible youth, volunteers, and families who make 4-H thrive in our community. Throughout the week, we celebrate local achievements, share our 4-H pride, and inspire others to get involved in hands-on learning and service.
Each year in partnership with Gillespie County Commissioners Court a week is dedicated to highlighting the positive impact of 4-H in Gillespie County. Clubs host fun activities, service projects, and outreach events to show how 4-H helps youth develop leadership, responsibility, and life skills that last a lifetime.
This year’s theme — “Grow Green, Grow Strong” — reminds us that 4-H is rooted in growth, generosity, and community.
