4-H Youth Development

 4-H Clover EmblemAll kids can join 4-H, boys and girls, kids in grades K-12, in all counties in the U.S., on military bases all over the world, in cities, suburbs, small towns, in the country, and on Reservations.  4-H means you get active experiential learning, learning by doing, youth are leaders, youth are volunteers, and kids pick their own projects.  4-H has lots of projects: photography, technology, leadership, animals, horticulture, health, citizenship, nutrition, clothing, rocketry, woodworking, entomology, and arts and theater.  4-H youth are cared about and feel a sense of BELONGING, influence people and events through decision-making and action-exercising INDEPENDENCE, learn skills to make positive career and life choices-a sense of MASTERY, and learn that helping others through community service is important-experiencing GENEROSITY.
