APPLICATION GUIDELINES
The Chevron sponsored 4-H Community Pride Award Program covers all 4-H community involvement projects, including community service, community development, and community pride efforts (note: a club does not need to have received a 4-H Community Pride grant sponsored by Chevron to be eligible).
Two opportunities for recognition are available. One 4-H club in each participating county unit will be selected to receive the Best (in-county) 4-H Community Pride Award, a framed certificate, provided with Chevron funding. The Best Washington State 4-H Community Pride Award will be presented each year to the most outstanding Community Pride Program overall. This will include a special framed certificate, and a $200 cash award. Only 4-H clubs making application will be considered for awards.
Selection of the Best (in-county) 4-H Community Pride Award will be made by an appropriate county committee selected by the county 4-H agent. The best in-state award winner will be selected by the Washington State 4-H Foundation from the Best in County winners. Selection criteria:
20% number of members involved and what they did relative to club size;
20% value of the project to the community;
20% what the members learned about their community,
20% amount of youth involvement with people and organizations in
the community; and,
20% how effectively the program was publicized in the community.
APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Chevron 4-H Community Pride Grants are available in amounts up to $300 (although larger amounts can be awarded on special request) to supplement local funds for projects. The following guidelines will be used in ranking proposals:
