VCOSS 2026 – Learning, Connecting, and Growing Together!

Behind every great 4-H experience are volunteers who continue to learn, grow, and bring fresh ideas home to their clubs and communities!

Our Oklahoma delegates spent time at VCOSS exploring new activities, exchanging ideas, building friendships, and strengthening their skills as 4-H leaders. And the best part? They have brought that inspiration home to share with others!

As Delaware County volunteer Becky Roberts shared:
💬 “After five years of attending, I still come home with fresh ideas and renewed enthusiasm.”

Could YOU be part of the Oklahoma delegation next year?

🍀 National 4-H Week – Celebrating the Volunteers Who Make 4-H Possible!

As we celebrate National 4-H Week, we're also celebrating Oklahoma volunteers who are investing in their own growth to create even better experiences for 4-H youth!

Oklahoma was well represented at the 2026 Volunteer Conference of Southern States (VCOSS), with 19 delegates from 10 counties! Four Oklahomans presented educational workshops, and two represented Oklahoma on the Volunteer Advisory Committee.

A special thank-you to the Oklahoma 4-H Foundation for providing scholarships to 15 delegates. Your investment in volunteer development helps strengthen 4-H clubs, communities, and opportunities for young people across Oklahoma.

Our delegates return home with fresh ideas, new connections, and renewed enthusiasm to share with others!

🍀 This National 4-H Week, let's celebrate the volunteers who continue to learn, lead, and grow alongside our youth!

When you think about your support system, who comes to mind? Maybe you have a friend who always helps you see the positives in a situation, or a grandparent who you turn to when you have a bad day. Those people are part of your support system. A support system is a network of people who provide you with emotional and practical help. It means you have people that you can rely on. A good support system can help you achieve things you thought were impossible, lower your stress, and increase your self-esteem! You want the right people to be there to help and cheer for you through life. To build your support team, here are some helpful tips:
• Focus on the relationships that offer the most positive but truthful advice and grow those.
• Try new activities alone or in groups to introduce you to fresh faces who may provide a positive influence and keep growing your support.

Mission Possible: Oklahoma 4-H Health & Wellness Discovery Day
Registration is OPEN for the Oklahoma 4-H Health & Wellness Discovery Day! This year’s theme, Mission Possible, invites 4-H members in 6th grade and up, volunteers and parents to accept the mission of exploring health, wellness and future careers in health on Saturday, November 7, at the OSU Center for Health Sciences in Tulsa. Youth will tour the medical school, meet health professionals, and experience hands-on learning designed to help them discover the many possibilities in the health and wellness field.

Throughout the day, participants will practice CPR and chest compressions, explore human anatomy, try medical equipment, experience health careers through virtual reality, participate in a farm-to-fork nutrition activity, build a take-home wellness kit and learn from 4-H Healthy Living Ambassadors.

Registration is $20 and includes light morning refreshments, lunch, a T-shirt and workshop materials. The event is open to youth and adults, 6th grade and up, and registration closes October 30 at 5:00 p.m. Please encourage your 4-H families to register through ZSuites and join us for Mission Possible!

Youth Members & Certified Adults: Register in ZSuites

What project, hobby, skill, or activity sparked your interest as a young person? Help create that experience for Oklahoma 4-H members by presenting a workshop at the 2027 Oklahoma 4-H Rising Leaders Conference.

We're seeking volunteers, teen leaders, parents, Extension educators, and community partners to share hands-on learning experiences with youth in grades 3-7.

Youth consistently return from this conference energized, excited, and more engaged in 4-H. Help us create those moments!

A Challenge for the Year Ahead 🎨🍀

National Arts in Education Week may be over, but the opportunity to connect the arts with 4-H continues all year.

Here's our challenge: Look at your club, project work, and programming. Where can you intentionally connect the arts to help youth create, communicate, problem-solve, design, or serve?

Then ask, who could help? Parents, grandparents, community members, artists, makers, photographers, designers, cooks, woodworkers, welders, writers, musicians—and others—have skills and experiences to share.

Look for those talents in your community and work with your county Extension office to find appropriate ways to connect them with 4-H youth.

Strong 4-H project work grows when caring adults help young people make connections, build skills, and ask, “What could I learn next?”

Finishing something doesn't have to mean the learning is finished.

A photograph, painting, welded piece, story, performance, graphic design, or other creation can be a great accomplishment. But in 4-H, one experience can also become the beginning of something bigger.

What technique would you like to learn next?
What would you change if you did it again?
Could you try a more challenging version?
Who could teach you something new?
Could you use your skills to teach or serve others?

That's how an activity begins to grow into project work. Youth explore an interest, build skills, practice, make mistakes, improve, reflect, and find new ways to apply what they've learned.

Along the way, they may also discover something about themselves: what they're good at, what they enjoy, and even an interest that could lead to future education or a career.

Try it: When a young person finishes something they're proud of, don't stop with “That looks great!” Add one more question: “What would you like to try next?”

Because in 4-H, reaching one goal is an opportunity to reflect, set the next goal, and keep growing.
