Benefits of 4-H

In 4-H, we believe in the power of young people. We see that every child has valuable strengths and real influence to improve the world around us.

Programs reach every corner of the state. Kids and teens complete hands-on projects in areas like health, science, agriculture and civic engagement in a positive environment. They receive guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles.
