GLOBE 2022/23
Global Leadership
Opportunities Beyond Education, GLOBE, is a multi-faceted program for 4-H
members in grades 7-11. GLOBE prepares 4-H youth to step out of their comfort
zone and see the world from a different perspective. GLOBE is a year-long
program where youth participate in tow educational programs, held November
11-13, 2022, and January 14, 2023, and four online webinars. Participants are
required to make two educational presentations and to provide leadership for a
service-learning project in their community. GLOBE's final activity, a
week-long immersive program in Costa Rica June 25-July 1, 2023, brings it all
together for those that have completed all of the previously mentioned
components.
Applications for the
various GLOBE programs are now open through October 10th but limited to 25
youth, so encourage your youth to apply now! Find the information packet

FAQ-
Remind me again, what do these funds go to?
- Scholarship
for camp or 4-H leadership activities/programs.
How much goes back to the state it’s raised in?
- 90%, 10%
stays with Council. Funds raised in YOUR county go back to YOUR
county!
What about online donations?
- You can
donate online with purchase. However, these funds cannot be tracked
to the individual store, only the state.
Where do the paper clovers they hang up in the stores come
from? Do we need to do anything for that?
- Nope – TSC
takes care of all that and ships them to the store in advance of the
campaign.
