"4-H is a community of young people across America learning leadership, citizenship and life skills".



What is 4HWhat is 4H?

4-H is a youth organization that belongs to the members, their families and other interested adults who serve as volunteer leaders. Cooperative Extension Service faculty of the University of Florida gives Professional leadership. Support for 4-H programs is a joint effort of local county government, the University of Florida and the United States Department of Agriculture.

4-H is young people sharing, doing and learning together in all kinds of projects, events and activities in informal situations with guidance of their families and other volunteer adult leaders. Members choose projects that fit them and the places where they live. Group activities and events such as contests, trips, camps, fairs, shows and conferences provide additional opportunities and learning experiences.

4-H is open to all youth and adults regardless of their ethnic background, race or personal creed. Most 4-H clubs have meetings once or twice a month. During these business meetings, decisions are made relative to group sponsored activities, community service efforts, project opportunities, fund-raising efforts, etc.

Regardless of the structure, a 4-H group may involve 4-H families, neighbors, relatives and others. They will have fun learning and working together in the home, neighborhood and community.

4-H motto:

"to make the Best Better."
