| 4-H Clubs give youth a feeling of belonging and
an opportunity to learn about things that interest them. Clubs are
formed by youth and adult partnerships where volunteers work along
side young people to help them learn and grow. Together, youth and
adults experience and practice leadership and citizenship in real
time making real decisions. Youth decide what interests they would
like to follow, adults support and encourage them. From Arts and
Sciences to Leadership and Technology, 4-H Clubs expand the opportunities
available to youth. There are over 130 interest areas supported
with curriculum, so every youth can find a subject to explore. Each
young person has a chance to learn, practice and polish their communication
skills including public speaking, demonstrating and more. 4-H is
about the whole child, allowing each to have a nonformal educational
experience at their own pace.
