Mission Statement

The four H’s stand for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health, and signify the development of the whole person. 4-H is an informal, educational youth organization, and our county has a large and active program. You’ll be involved in year-round project work and club and county activities, local community service and learn valuable life skills through your 4-H participation. Boys and girls in 5K through grade 13 are eligible to join 4-H. Parents and adults are encouraged to be volunteer leaders. 4-H is open to anyone regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin, disability, religion or ancestry.

About This Cause

4-H is a non-formal educational program that seeks to empower youth. 4-H projects are chosen by the young people who participate in them. Whatever the particular project, all 4-H activities are designed to teach life skills that can be used long after the project is finished. The 4 “H”s stand for head, heart, hands, and health, emphasizing that the goal of 4-H is to educate the whole person. 4-H projects use a “learn-by-doing” approach, based in the assumption that strong and lasting learning happens when you do something, reflect upon what you do, and then apply what you’ve learned to your next effort. 4-H activities are led by 4-H leaders who create learning partnerships with youth, guided by basic principles of youth development. In a nutshell, 4-H projects are based on the general idea that young people learn best when they choose hands-on learning experiences that are guided by adults who understand and care about them.
