Programs: Awards For Outstanding Programs

MetLife Awards of Excellence - The MetLife Foundation Awards of Excellence are four (4) $1,500 cash awards to 4-H programs that exhibit excellence in Citizenship programming in an Afterschool/out-of-school environment.

Family Strengthening Awards - In rural America, being isolated and disconnected—socially and/or geographically—from opportunity and support can thwart the efforts and aspirations of even the most resourceful families and lengthen the odds against their children doing well. Therefore, it is critical to connect families to programs: resources and support that can help them succeed under disadvantaged conditions.

Salute to Excellence - Volunteers are, undeniably, the "heart and soul" of 4–H, and in an age when people's time is at a premium, Salute to Excellence serves as an opportunity to acknowledge their unwavering dedication to the 4–H Youth Development movement.
