4-H is a positive youth development organization where kids 5-19 years of age gain skills through hands-on projects. Under the guidance & support of adult volunteers, youth take on leadership roles and learn from each other. Kings County 4-H strives to help all kids in our community find their spark, build real world skills and become resilient, lifelong learners.
