4-H is a National Youth Development Program that has been in existence for over 100 years!
The primary goal of 4-H is to assist youth in developing life skills that help them live productive and satisfying lives. Some important life skills include making decisions, solving problems, relating to others, planning and organizing, communicating with others, leading self and others, and applying science and technology. Being part of a 4-H club is one of the most meaningful ways to participate in 4-H. Youth can also be involved in special interest programs as well as school enrichment and mentoring programs sponsored by 4-H. Thanks for stopping by!
