Why 4-H?

The purpose of 4-H is twofold:

  1. To provide youth with fun hands-on educational experiences that will help them develop life skills such as confidence, leadership, cooperation, and responsibility.
  2. To provide interested parents and other adults with the opportunity to grow through working with youth.

Is 4-H for me?

Youth and adults alike will:

  • Have a good time through learning in new, enjoyable ways.
  • Make friends, belong to a group, give & receive acceptance and recognition.
  • Build self-confidence
  • Develop a desire to learn
  • Gain decision-making, problem-solving, and leadership skills
  • Become more interested in their community and the people in it
