While many of us are making holiday preparations this time of year, our 4-H youth and volunteers are fully engaged in their projects and preparing for various competitions, shows and opportunities in the new year.
4-H members can choose from more than 50 projects that focus on science, engineering, technology, animals and agriculture, food and nutrition, outdoor adventures, marine science, public speaking, art, and wildlife.
This “learn by doing” approach helps youth acquire knowledge, develop life skills, and form attitudes to enable them to become self-directed, productive, and contributing members of society.
4-H has three priority programs: Science, Citizenship & Leadership, and Healthy Living.Some 360 youth in 15 Sarasota County 4-H clubs learn about particular topics and apply them to everyday situations. Through 4-H projects and relationships, youth build better lives and become better stewards, employees, community citizens, and leaders.
