Why 4-H?

The start of the new school year gets parents thinking of extracurricular programs to get their children involved with. There are many programs for parents to choose from and it can feel overwhelming.

4-H is a positive youth development program that uses a hands-on, experiential learning approach to deliver programs to youth. 4-H offers a ton of project areas! It doesn’t matter if a 4-H’er shows an animal, shoots a bow, builds a robot, or sews a blanket they are learning important life skills while having fun.
