Whitetails Unlimited Grants Over $191,000 to 4-H
In the last fiscal year, Whitetails Unlimited has granted over $191,000 to 4-H groups in multiple states that are providing kids with a sense of community, mentors, and learning opportunities to develop the skills they need to create positive change in their lives.
Head, Heart, Hands, and Health are the four Hs in 4H, and they are the four values members work on through fun and engaging programs. Whitetails Unlimited is the nation’s premier nonprofit white-tailed deer organization and a strong supporter of educational programs and shooting sports.
With their DEER Program (Developing Educational & Environment Resources) that focuses on outdoor education, Whitetails Unlimited partners with 4-H, a U.S.-based network of youth organizations whose mission is “engaging youth to reach their fullest potential while advancing the field of youth development.” Environmental and wildlife education programs such as shooting teams, focusing on safe handling of firearms, and clay target shooting by 4-H certified coaches can help youth develop a sense of responsibility, initiative, and self-worth, and build life skills such as confidence, independence, resilience, and compassion.
