4-H Learning Experiences
Each year, the Michigan 4-H Foundation provides 4-H statewide learning experience sponsorships to a variety of Michigan 4-H programs and events.
These sponsorships greatly reduce the cost of 4-H activities and make them more accessible for 4-H youth, volunteers and staff to attend. Generous gifts from donors, endowment fund earnings and general fund support from the Michigan 4-H Foundation make the sponsorships possible. 4-H program staff and event coordinators may apply for 4-H statewide learning experience fund sponsorships on a yearly basis through a competitive process.
This includes many of our flagship 4-H events like 4-H Exploration Days, Capitol Experience, 4-H Great Lakes and Natural Resources Camp, World Food Prize Michigan Youth Institute. Many statewide and regional 4-H workshops, like 4-H Winterfest, 4-H Shooting Sports Instructor Training and animal science workshops and events are also supported with funding.

Through 4-H I have learned so many things that can help me build my confidence. I went from feeling insecure about my disability to being able to tell other kids who have dyslexia that even if it is difficult, you shouldn\'t feel embarrassed about it. Since joining 4-H I can share my experience with dyslexia and help people understand the disability.
