4-H Pledge

The 4-H pledge is commonly said at the beginning of 4-H club meetings, conferences, and events.

As a true 4-H member, I pledge...

My head to clearer thinking,
My heart to greater loyalty,
My hands to larger service,
My health to better living
for my club, my community,
my country and my world.

Here is the 4-H Pledge in other languages.

Promesa 4-H (Spanish)

Promesa 4H

Prometo usar mi mente para pensar con más claridad,
mi corazón para ser más leal,
mis manos para ser más servicial,
mi salud para cuidarme más,
por mi club, mi comunidad, mi país y mi mundo.

Translated by Dr. Lisa Lauxman, National 4-H Foundation

4-H Cog Lus (Hmong)

Kuv cog lus kuv:
Kuv lub taub hau rau meej meej xav kev,
Kuv lub plawv rau loj dua kev ncaj ncess,
Kuv txhais tes rau pab cov neeg,
Thiab kuv cov kev mob rau kov zoo dua ciaj,
Muab rau kuv lub koom haum,
Kub vlub zos, kub lub tebchaws, thiab kuv tub ntiaj teb.

- Translated by Roberta Xiong, Merced County 4-H Member (2002)

Für meinen Klub, meine Gemeinschaft, mein Land, und meine Welt.

Å bli en ungdom,
Med klart hode,
Varmt hjerte,
Flinke hender, og
