What is 4-H?
4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship and life skills. Participating youth, from grades 3-12, and adult volunteers and leaders “learn by doing” through opportunities in which they gain a sense of belonging within a positive group, cultivate independence with guidance from caring adults and peers, and master life challenges.
The 4-H Youth Development Program reaches over 6.5 million young people through 4-H clubs and camps, 4-H Afterschool and school-based programs. It is currently active in every county of all 50 states, (from urban, suburban and rural areas) including U.S. territories and military installations worldwide.
Mission Statement: Assist youth in acquiring knowledge, building character, and developing life skills in a fun learning environment that will enable them to become self-directing, productive members of society.
4-H Pledge:
I pledge
My head to clearer thinking,
My heart to greater loyalty,
My hands to larger service and
My health to better living,
For my club, my community,
My country and my world.
4-H Emblem: A green four-leaf clover, with a white “H” on each leaflet.
4-H Motto: To Make the Best Better
4-H Slogan: Learn by Doing
4-H Colors: Green and White
