4-H is an international organization for youth, ages 5-19, that promotes hands-on learning. In 4-H kids learn, have FUN, and run the show!
The four H's in 4-H stand for Head, Heart, Hands and Health
4-H welcomes all youth and adult volunteers from all backgrounds in all locales (rural and urban) regardless of race, color, religion, religious creed, ancestry, national origin, age vetern's status, sexual orientation, marital status, physical or mental disability, or place of residence.
Age appropriate projects within each club are the heart of 4-H's hands-on learning. Each project focuses on a topic - anything from art to zoology - including: animal sciences, bicycling, camping, computers, drama, entomology, leadership, music, photography, quilting, rockertry, textile arts, and woodworking, to name a few. These opportunities are designed to be fun while teaching real life skills. Projects are lead by older youth and/or adult volunteers.
Programming varies from county to county, year to year. There are special policies regarding participation, competition, and animal projects for primary members.
