When you join 4-H, you are part of something big!

4-H is the nation’s largest organization for youth development with over six million members, and more numbers than that when including 4-H around the world! Established in the early 1900s, 4-H focuses on project-based learning (PBL) to help youth thrive by exploring personal interests (or “sparks”) and mastering new skills alongside supportive adult volunteers. The four H’s in the name stand for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health, representing the different values that members pledge to serve. We are committed to providing youth with learning opportunities for life skills practice like problem solving, caring for others, generosity, making healthy choices, and more.
