Delaware 4-H Hall of Fame
In 2002, the National Association of Extension 4-H Agents, National 4-H Council and 4-H National Headquarters partnered to create the National 4-H Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame was established to recognize 4-H volunteers, Extension professionals, staff employees, donors and others who made a significant impact on 4-H at the local, state or national level.  In conjunction with the national event, Delaware 4-H also created the Delaware 4-H Hall of Fame.  This event is sponsored by the Delaware 4-H Foundation.

The next class of laureates will be inducted on October 6, 2018.  The event is planned to be held at the Modern Maturity Center in Dover, DE.

If you know of a special individual who has had a major impact on the 4-H Program in Delaware, you may nominate them for induction into the Delaware 4-H Hall of Fame in 2018.  Nominations will be open through May 15.  The 2018 class will be selected in June 2018.  The full nomination form and FAQ document are located on the State 4-H website at the link below.
