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 youth 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.
