The original idea of 4-H is the result of the ideas of many people in different regions of the United States who were concerned about the wellbeing and development of young people. From its beginning, 4-H linked both public and private resources for the purpose of helping young people. 4-H taught youth to "learn by doing" by introducing improved methods of farming and homemaking to them...
After 100 years of changes and modifications, 4-H has become the largest extra cirricular youth program in the United States-- in rural and urban areas alike. It offers young people opportunities in communications, leadership, career development, animal and plant science, home improvement, and technology, and many other areas. Nearly 7 million American youth take advantage of the possibilites the 4-H program has to offer. 4-H teaches life skills development by instigating an expanding number of delivery modes: 4-H community clubs, special interest groups, EFNEP nutrition programs, school enrichment, and the camping programs.
For decades to come, 4-H will continue to grow and develop the head, heart, hands, and health of youth in America, and around the world.
