The resolution recognizes the significant positive impact of the Arkansas 4-H program on the youth of the state, tracing its origins back to 1908 with the formation of the White County Corn and Cotton Club. The program, which has evolved over the years, now serves over 258,000 young people across Arkansas, providing them with essential life skills and leadership opportunities through hands-on projects in various fields such as science, health, agriculture, and citizenship. The Arkansas 4-H program, conducted by the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service, emphasizes a "learn-by-doing" approach and fosters youth-adult partnerships, ultimately preparing young individuals to become productive and compassionate members of society.

In light of the program's extensive reach and proven benefits, the resolution proclaims March 4, 2025, as 4-H Day at the State Capitol, highlighting the importance of structured learning and mentorship provided by volunteers. Research indicates that participation in 4-H correlates with increased civic engagement and healthier lifestyle choices among youth, further underscoring the program's role in shaping successful future leaders. The resolution calls for recognition of the Arkansas 4-H program's contributions to youth development and community engagement throughout the state.
