  • developing lifeskills
  • learning by doing
  • utilizing the knowledge of the land-grant university system

4-H Builds the Leaders of Tomorrow

  • Members can range from age 8 to age 18.
  • 4-H starts on a club level, then moves onto a county, district, state, national and international level.

  • Each exhibit receives a ribbon award- purple, blue, red, white, or participation, according to the judging.
