4-H Youth Development

What is 4-H?

4-H is a community of young people (K-12th grade) across America who learn leadership, citizenship and life skills through hands-on explorative projects. 4-H is the nation’s largest youth development organization. 4-H is led by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Cooperative Extension System, a nation-wide, educational network of land grant universities bringing research-based information to citizens of all ages. 4-H is a ‘learning by doing’ organization that offers more than 100 project areas for young people to showcase their work.

In it’s early beginnings, 4-H taught youth agriculture and home economic skills. Today, 4-H members can participate in many project areas such as computer science, marine ecology, performing arts, food preparation, shooting sports, companion animals, safety, health, public speaking, robotics, and more!
