About 4-H: Overview

4-H is a community of more than 6 million young people across America learning leadership, citizenship and life skills. 

The 4-H community also includes 3,500 staff, 540,000 volunteers and 60 million alumni. 4-H members participate in fun, hands-on learning activities supported by the latest research of land-grant universities that are focused on three areas: healthy living, citizenship, and science. Youth can experience 4-H by becoming a member of a 4-H club, attending a 4-H camp, or joining school-based or after-school 4-H programs. 4-H members can compete with their projects in contests at the local, state, regional or national levels and also attend conferences and events.
