4-H & Youth Development

Upcoming Events

October 4th-October 10th

National 4-H Week brings together 6 million youth, 3,300+ Extension educators, 500,000
volunteers, and 35 million alumni to celebrate the incredible impact of 4-H and preparing young
people to be Beyond Ready for life and career. Monday is Go Green and Thursday is Thankful Thursday!

October 8th, 5PM-7PM

Join us for a night of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM)! We’ll be making slime, holiday circuit cards, dino digs, and more. Bring a friend who’s not in 4-H to introduce them to different projects and to check of your bingo card. We’ll also be making holiday cards that youth can enter for the State contest.

October 17th

Get ready to start crafting… 4-H will be at the Harvest Market! This year we’re tying in some 4-H exploration for all the market go-ers. 4-H members are encouraged to bring their favorite project(s) whether they’re past projects or still work-in-progress. Members may also bring handmade items to sell at the market and they can keep any profits they make.

Welcome to 4-H!

Wyoming 4-H is a youth development program that empowers young people with skills for lifelong leadership. Participants learn by doing with the support of dedicated volunteers.

Wyoming 4-H helps youth become confident, engaged leaders, preparing them for success in their communities and future careers. Wyoming 4-H is a key part of how UW Extension serves our Wyoming communities.

Military Partnership

4-H National Headquarters at USDA is pleased to have established formal partnerships with Army Child, Youth and School Services, Air Force Airman and Family Services, and Navy Family Readiness to support positive youth development education for youth whose parents are serving in the military. In Wyoming, the 4-H Military Partnership is grant-funded and serves youth at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, WY, as well as geographically dispersed youth throughout the state.

4-H provides consistent programming and a supportive environment for military youth facing frequent moves and deployments. Through partnerships with military branches and the Land Grant University Extension System, 4-H offers training, technical assistance, and club opportunities for youth on and off installations, including those in National Guard and Reserve families in civilian communities.
