Indiana lawmakers honor Indiana 4-H and Purdue Extension and direct the Senate secretary to send the resolution to the youth program and ten named ambassadors.
What it does
Indiana lawmakers recognize Indiana 4-H and Purdue Extension and honor February 10, 2026, as 4-H Day at the Statehouse. The Senate secretary must send copies to the program and named youth ambassadors.
Argument forPublic recognition could draw attention to Indiana 4-H's educational programs and the volunteers who help prepare young people for college and careers.
Argument againstRecognition alone may offer little practical help toward Indiana 4-H's stated goal of serving more than 250,000 young people.

Copies go to the Purdue Extension 4-H youth development program and the ten named 4-H ambassadors. The recognition names February 10, 2026, as 4-H Day at the Statehouse, rather than establishing an annual observance.
