4-H Youth Development
4-H is a nation-wide hands-on youth development program, the largest in the United States with over 6.5 million members. Our purpose is to provide a supportive setting for all girls and boys to mature into competent, caring, and responsible people through volunteerism and the learning of valuable life skills. 4-H also provides many opportunities for young people to take on leadership roles. At its most basic level, 4-H includes belonging to one or more 4-H club list and pursuing the project list and interests that you love, all while serving the community.
4-H’ers join clubs and pursue projects and interests of their own choosing in areas like:
- Art and music
- Science and technology
- Animals and agriculture
- Communications
- Healthy living
- Citizenship
- Community action and volunteering
4-H’ers also participate in the 4-H program in ways beyond their clubs. We have:
- County-wide activities, like the La Plata County Fair and CODY Project Events
- State-wide activities, like the Colorado State Conference and Colorado State Fair
- and national and even international activities, like our Intrastate Exchange Trips, & International Foreign Youth Exchange (IFYE)
.
