4-H & Youth

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.
