Learn by doing.
Leadership
4‑H empowers young people to be true leaders. True leaders are young people who have confidence; know how to work well with others; can endure through challenges; and will stick with a job until it gets done. In 4‑H, we believe true leaders aren’t born – they’re grown.
Friendship
4‑H’s positive youth development programs are available where you need them and welcome children who want to have fun, learn and grow. Members create life long friendships through projects clubs, and community club events.
Life Skills
4‑H’s hands-on approach is proven to grow life skills like confidence, independence, resilience and compassion through stages and developed through experiences, not instruction.
​
The result? Kids who are empowered with the skills to lead for a lifetime.
Hands-on Learning
More young people need the kind of hands-on, youth-led experiences that 4‑H programs provide. Experiences where they learn by doing, grow from failure, express their ideas and use their influence to drive positive outcomes. Adult mentors provide guidance, ask questions, share learnings and encourage.
