4-H AllStars

Being tapped as a 4-H All Star is the highest honor you can receive in Virginia 4-H.  All Stars is reserved for the most engaged, most active 4-H members of strong character.  The All Star motto is SERVICE, and it is hoped that those who achieve All Star status will continue to be involved as a 4-H supporter for many years to come.

Congratulations to the Madison youth & volunteer who were tapped 
as 2013 4-H All Stars:  

  • Caitlin Shilan
  • Brooke Paramore
  • Caleb Webb
  • Denise Webb (Honorary All-Star) 


2014 All-Star applications are due Oct 15 to the Extension Office

All Stars are evaluated on a points system, and points are attained by participating in a variety of 4-H experiences.  Leadership, service, and participation all count, though different points are allotted for 4-H exchange programs versus completion of project record books (for example).  Competitions, workshops, county fairs, 4-H club projects, and awards are all examples of information collected on the nomination form. 
More information about 4-H All Stars is available online.  Don't forget!  If you plan to apply this fall, you need to contact Kaci ASAP so she can help you get started.
