Nebraska 4-H Month, traditionally held during February each year, is an opportunity to celebrate 4-H locally, recruit new members and volunteers, and have fun! This year, Nebraska 4-H Month will kick off the statewide Share Your Adventure call to action. We want to see what 4-H is like from your perspective! Whether you're a 4-H professional, volunteer, council member, club leader, project leader, club member, camper, or even alumni - if you have a 4-H adventure to share, we (and our followers) want to see it! Share your story on social media with a photo or video, and be sure to tag @Nebraska4H and #NE4H.
Also, consider hosting a Nebraska 4-H Instagram Takeover during Nebraska 4-H Month! The goal of our Instagram takeovers are to show the wide variety of opportunities in 4-H, provide a glimpse into what it's like to be involved in 4-H, and to help tell the stories of 4-H. Ideas for takeovers include:
* a day in the life of a 4-H volunteer, parent, professional etc.
* behind-the-scenes of a 4-H project, contest, event, etc.
* 4-H community service projects
To apply to take over the Nebraska 4-H Instagram, please complete the interest form available at https://4h.unl.edu/instagram-takeover.

New “Share Your Adventure” social media cards were available at January in-service. For counties wanting to customize and print their own cards, the artwork is also available along with Share Your Adventure social media graphics at: https://4h.unl.edu/employee/marketing-toolbox/social-media.
County 4-H programs are encouraged to host in-person events and celebrations as a great way to engage your local community. Consider sharing in-person event ideas with your colleagues across the state on the Nebraska 4-H Slack channel: https://newsroom.unl.edu/announce/4hstaff/10470/61971.
We look forward to seeing your 4-H story this February during Nebraska 4-H Month! For questions, please contact Danielle Dewees at ddewees@unl.edu.
