4-H is a co-educational program available to young people ages 8-18 regardless of race, sex, creed, religion, color, national origin, or mental or physical handicap. 4-H serves rural and urban youth and adult volunteer leaders. The program helps youth develop into responsible, productive young adults through the development and support of leadership teams of staff, volunteers, youth and other adults who organize educational project experiences in community or family settings. Youth are given opportunities to develop self esteem, self confidence, and personal management skills through various activities and programs. Youth can become involved in learning new skills through specific projects. They have access to the latest informational available due to the research link with the Penn State University. Youth can expand their leadership roles and independent thinking skills through working on committees, assisting in leading a project, and working with a diversity of youth and adults.

WAYS TO GET INVOLVED:

It only takes five youth and one adult to start a 4-H club. There are many ways youth can participate in 4-H. 4-H Project Groups provide the main source of activity for the youth. 4-H members "learn by doing" an activity which interests them.
