4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship and life skills. 4-H empowers youth to reach their full potential working and learning in partnership with caring adults. While activities focus mainly on the local 4-H Club, members may also participate in group activities and events such as fairs, trips, camping, teen leader trainings, fundraising, achievement programs and county, regional and state learning opportunities. Members choose projects to fit their interests, abilities and the places where they live. 4-H projects are tools used to teach youth personal growth, development, appreciation of diversity, and life skills such as responsibility, sound decision making, initiative and appreciation. More than 150 projects are available, including gardening, sewing, pet care, rocketry, insects, careers, wildlife, raising large animals, cooking, creating Web sites, geographic information systems, babysitting and much more. 4-H projects involve hands-on learning, setting and achieving goals and evaluating one’s progress.
