What is 4-H?
The 4-H youth development program is a dynamic non-formal education program.
4-H provides youth with opportunities to learn skills, gain knowledge, have fun, and make contributions in such areas as environmental education, community service, and current youth issues.
​
4-H is rich with learning experiences where young people partner with caring adults and volunteers in a fellowship unlike any other program available to youth today. Through 4-H, young people are encouraged to participate in a variety of activities that emphasize 4-H’s “learning by doing” philosophy of youth development.
​
Studies show that 4-H members:
-
do better in school
-
are more motivated to help others
-
feel safe to try new things
-
achieve a sense of self-esteem
-
develop lasting friendships.
