4-H

4-H is a youth education program which provides children and young adults ages 5-18 the opportunity to learn skills they need to be productive members of society, good citizens and leaders of tomorrow. They learn these skills through 4-H projects like sewing, aerospace, computers, marine science and animal projects. Youth can become members of 4-H by joining a Community 4-H Club, by participating in a short term Special Interest Program, or by being part of a 4-H School Enrichment Classroom Project.
