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 when a group of boys formed the White County Corn and Cotton Club. This initiative has evolved into a comprehensive program that currently engages over 144,000 young people in school enrichment and more than 258,000 youth aged 5 to 19 across Arkansas. The Arkansas 4-H program, operated by the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service, focuses on developing productive citizens through hands-on, research-based educational activities that enhance life skills and foster leadership.

In light of the program's contributions to youth development, the resolution proclaims March 4, 2025, as 4-H Day at the State Capitol. It highlights the program's commitment to preparing young people for community challenges, promoting civic engagement, and encouraging healthier lifestyle choices. The resolution also acknowledges the vital role of adult mentors and volunteers in supporting 4-H members, ultimately contributing to their long-term success and leadership capabilities in society.
