4-H Youth Development
The 4-H Youth Development program creates opportunities and supportive environments for youth and adults to become capable, competent and caring citizens. The emphasis is on "hands-on" learning that focuses on the youth's area of interest. Programs are conducted with the help of parents, adult volunteer leaders and professional staff who organize educational experiences. Youth participate in organized 4-H clubs, special interest and project groups, 4-H school enrichment programs, 4-H camp and other special activities.

4-H News
Hello, to all! I wanted to let everyone know that as of right now our traditional 4-H Summer Residential Camping 2020 has been suspended. There is a hope that by July or August we can revisit a possible shortened camping session. However, this is not guaranteed as we will need to follow current government, university and CDC restrictions on gatherings and social distancing. A final decision about the viability of this alternative camping scheduled will be shared with 4-H staff by 4-H administration on May 8. For those that can, I ask that you allow us this extra time to make the best informed decision possible while accounting for the needs of our program and the safety of our 4-H'ers
I know that as a group, no matter the outcome of this summer, we will come together to provide programming for our youth when it is humanly possible to do so. Until then, be safe and be well."
