Have you ever wonder the possibility of livestock, robotics and hiking having something in common? Well it's hard to say that with a rich history grounded in agriculture and home economics the founders of 4-H Youth Development Program foreseen the wide diversity of projects that a 4-H participant may run into. Using Learn by doing activities, youth-adult partnerships, and research-based educational programs since its creation the 4-H Youth Development Program's mission and goals remain the same... to help youth develop their full potential!
Today, 4-H youth continues learning about agriculture and homemaking but also are involved in science, engineering and technology (SET), citizenship and many other programs designed to uniquely prepared Young people to step up to the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
Annually UCCE Riverside have enrolled 500-700 youth with 150-200 volunteer leaders involved in over 60 different projects . After more than 100 years of service in the county 4-H is positioned to equip young people with the life skills they need to thrive.
Whether youth participate in community clubs, after school programs, day camps, or other program settings, if there is a youth with a passion to learn about something, we can find an adult to help them.
