4-H is America’s largest youth development organization – empowering nearly six million young people with the skills to lead for a lifetime. In 4-H, we believe in the power of young people. We see that every child has valuable strengths and real influence to improve the world around us. Through life-changing 4-H programs kids and teens have taken on critical societal issues, such as addressing community health inequalities, engaging in civil discourse and advocating for equity and inclusion for all.
We believe in all young people’s potential, developing young people who are empowered, confident, hard-working, determined, responsible and compassionate – seeing a world beyond themselves so that they have the life-long skills to succeed in college and career.
