4-H IS A COMMUNITY OF YOUNG PEOPLE ACROSS AMERICA WHO ARE LEARNING LEADERSHIP, CITIZENSHIP, AND LIFE SKILLS

4-H is a non-formal educational, youth development program offered to individuals age 5 and in Kindergarten to 19.
Youth participate in hands-on, experiential activities that allow learning by doing.
All 4-H programs focus on active involvement and quality experiences which stimulate lifelong learning of values and skills.
