4-H is a community of six million young people across America learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills. 4-H programs are implemented by the 109 Land Grant Universities and the Cooperative Extension System through their 3,100 local Extension offices across the country.
Belonging to 4-H gives many educational opportunities each time you participate in an activity. “Learning by doing” through hands-on activities and community involvement empowers 4-H members to develop and strengthen life skills. We have found that behind each successful 4-H member stands 4-H parents/families with encouragement, guidance, and support.
4-H is a unique educational program for students in elementary through high school. It encourages diverse groups of youth to develop their skills and talents to the fullest. As 4-H’ers, youth actively participate in activities, events and projects that develop and strengthen life skills. 4-H is open to everyone. Each county has exciting and fun programs!
4-H is first offered as a 4th grader and continues to one’s Senior Year. Our local 4-H agents meet with 4th thru 8th graders each month at school through-out the school year. 9th thru 12th graders have information made readily available to them for each activity offered that they may wish to participate in.
