4-H Youth Programs

4‑H is a community for all kids with programs that suit a variety of backgrounds, interests, budgets and schedules. Whether AT HOME, in-school or after-school, in clubs or at camps, 4‑H’s positive youth development programs are available in your local community and welcome children who want to have fun, learn and grow. Clubs are the foundation of 4-H. A 4-H club is a group of five or more youngsters guided by one or more adults. Clubs can meet in a variety of locations, including virtually, and typically meet in the evenings and on the weekends. 4-H has three major project areas: S.T.E.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), Healthy Living and Citizenship/Leadership. Under these heading are hundreds of project topics for 4-H member involvement. 4-H works with University faculty to develop research-based educational curriculum that is both age-appropriate and useful for club or classroom delivery.

4‑H also has free at Home resources that provide critical learning resources for kids and teens all year long. Receive hands-on, educational activities, including our latest 4‑H activity guides to help inspire young people to do, learn, and grow.
