4-H Youth Development
When you join 4-H, you’re a part of something big! 4-H is the nation’s largest youth development organization, with more than six million members and over 90,000 clubs.
What is 4-H?
- Head, Heart, Hands, Health– We are committed to providing opportunities for youth to learn life skills like decision-making, problem-solving, caring for others, generosity, making healthy choices, and more.
- Project Based Learning– Youth can explore their interests (“sparks”) and master new skills. 4-H projects are meant to be hands-on to allow youth to understand not only how to do something, but also why they are doing it.
- 4-H Clubs– Youth join 4-H Clubs in a variety of settings so we can support youth where they are in the community, in partnership with schools, after school, and in military settings.
- 4-H Youth Ages– All youth from K-5 through one year out of high school are welcome to join 4-H.
In 4-H, youth have the chance to become leaders. Youth make decisions. Youth can make their voices heard. The most important part of 4-H is YOUth.
