The mission
of the Idaho 4-H Program is to help youth acquire
knowledge, life skills and attitudes that enhance life.
|
|
| |
|
4-His
the largest youth-serving organization in the world. All 50 states
and more than 80 countries worldwide have 4-H programs. People of
all ages participate in 4-H programs, from pre-school children to
grandparents. While it has its beginnings in rural America, 4-H
now serves young people and volunteers from major urban centers
and from suburban communities and rural non-farm settings as well.
From 4-H clubs to school enrichment projects to after school
programs, well-rounded young people are developed through 4-H. |
