Navigate the 4-H Web site with Cleaver
Deadline Jul 15, 2012
Now that there are three Cleavers on the loose, Cleaver has resolved to be more active than ever before (amazing, right?). As always, Cleaver will be making appearances at fun days, Award Nights, Achievement Days, and really, any other event you invite him to, BUT, he is also going to be making his way through the 4-H web site over the next few months.
For the next 6 months Cleaver will be surfing around on www.4h.ab.ca and we want you to find him! Between the 5th and 15th of each month (beginning on January 5 and ending on June 15) he will make an appearance on a particular web page. To find Cleaver and complete the entry for that month you will be asked a question and the answer is located on the page where Cleaver is located. He might be on the main page or perhaps a Regional page or maybe he has gone to read a press release or two. It's anyone's guess! To get the question on where Cleaver is located for the month, go to the 4-H Calendar and check out the entry "Navigate the 4-H Web site with Cleaver" for that month.
All you have to do is make sure that you visit the 4-H web site between the 5th and 15th of every month (and any other time you just want to see what's new with 4-H), fill out the application and state the answer to the question posed each month. Only one submission is allowed per navigator. The entries with the most correct answers will be entered into a draw. The diligent navigator whose name is drawn will be rewarded with a Future Shop $100 gift certificate.

Green Looks Good on You Challenge
Apr 22, 2012
Poster
Become an Environmental Leader in your Community.
Alberta 4-H (with the support of Cenovus Energy) is helping steward the environment in local communities by developing a *new* resource – greenlooksgoodonyou.ca. Here 4-H clubs can go online to learn about the environment by taking the Green Looks Good on You Challenge.
If the environment is something you or your 4-H club is interested in, follow these steps to start the Challenge or visit the Alberta 4-H website for more information!
- Visit www.greenlooksgoodonyou.ca to learn about the environment and how you, your club and community can practice the 4 R’s – Rethink, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
- As an entire 4-H club or individual member, take the Green Looks Good on You Challenge and work through the series of online modules. The challenge may work as a community service activity for the club, or as a Creative Options project for an individual member. Complete one workshop challenge per module, or get creative and design a workshop challenge that fits your community’s needs.
- To complete the challenge, each 4-H club, or member, will have to submit an Environmental Journey. You can showcase each module individually or summarize the entire challenge. Each journey will be uploaded online at the new www.greenlooksgoodonyou.ca website and can include a blog, electronic photos, Facebook pages, videos, etc.
The Environmental Journey is your way of telling us the simple changes you and/or your club have made at home, at work, at school or in your community, what you learned and what was accomplished. It’s your story!
- Inspire others!
Be sure to tell other clubs, districts, regions and communities:
• what you learned about environmental stewardship;
• that you implemented small behavioural changes that had positive impacts on the environment;
• how you or your club became an environmental leader within your community.
- Complete the Green Looks Good on You Challenge by Earth Day 2012 (April 22, 2012) and be entered into a prize draw!
