Warren County 4-H
4-H is an educational program for youth.
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.

2012 County Council Awards
May 16 - July 2, 2012The idea for the County Council Awards program was conceived in 2006 by the 4-H State Council. In an effort to get Pennsylvania counties involved and persuade more of them to develop or enhance existing county programs, it was decided that there would be cash prizes awarded to the top three County Councils. Awards would be given based on standards set by state level faculty and staff in leadership development with 3rd place receiving $200.00, 2nd place receiving $300.00 and 1st place receiving $500.00. County Councils provide cohesion on the county level among the clubs and offer strong programming for the teen youth on all levels of the leadership ladder. -
