Michigan State University Extension 4-H is participating in the April 1 - May 15, National 4-H campaign called "Raise Your Hand," to create awareness and activate 4-H members, alumni, and friends.

4-H gives youth the opportunity to learn by doing, grow from failure and develop the skills they need to handle what life throws their way. Starting today, we're asking you, friends of 4-H, to Raise Your Hand to support 4-H'ers in Michigan.

Each hand raised is a vote towards a $20,000, $10,000 or $5,000 award for the three states with the most hands raised. Help bring the high-quality 4-H experience to even more youth right here in Michigan.

Raising your hand is as easy as 1, 2, 3:

1. Raise Your Hand: Go to 4-H.org/RaiseYourHand to vote for your state.

2. Compete for Your State: Raising your hand is a vote towards a $20,000, $10,000 or $5,000 award for the states with the most hands raised.

3. Pay It Forward: Tweet, post and share your #4HGrown support and ask your network to raise their hands at 4-H.org/RaiseYourHand

Thank you for your support and don't forget to Raise Your Hand by May 15th!
