In their own words...
"4-H means making friends and learning new things. I love 4-H because I make new friends and have fun with them and talk to them. I also learn so many new things like life lessons and life skills. 4-H is also important to me because it is half my life. If I didn’t have 4-H, I would be sooooo bored and would not be who I am today. I would not know all the things that 4-H taught me. 4-H is also super fun. I love it so much. All the leaders who lead 4-H, thank you so much for all you do. It changed my life. That is what 4-H means to me."

What is 4-H?
For more than 100 years,
4‑H has been the nation’s leading youth organization to welcome young people of all beliefs and backgrounds, giving youth voice to express who they are and how they make their lives and communities better. These values are an inherent part of the 4‑H program since our founding when too often the perspectives and potential of young people were overlooked in improving their communities. As a result, a powerful program called 4‑H was created and has grown to empower nearly six million kids across the country today willing to take on societal issues such as addressing community health inequities, advancing innovations in technology, engaging in civil discourse and advocating for equity and inclusion for all.
