What is 4-H

   
 

The joy of 4-H is seeing young people grow
through their accomplishments.

     4-H..... Developing all youth to reach their fullest potential through:

  • develop life skills
  • learning by doing
  • utilizing the knowledge of the land-grant university system
  • 4-H enables youth to have fun, meet new people, learn new life skills, build self-confidence, learn responsibility, and set and achieve goals! Youth learn by doing and receive and award for a project

4-H builds the leaders of tomorrow

  • Members can range from age 5 to 21, depending on which state the member is from.
