4-H Youth Program
The 4-H Youth Development Program is an educational youth program conducted by the University of California Cooperative Extension. The purpose of 4-H is to help young people discover and develop their potential and grow into competent, contributing, and caring citizens. Learn-by-doing activities, youth-adult partnerships, and research-based educational programs help young people enhance their leadership abilities and develop a wide range of other life skills including responsibility, community service, citizenship and critical thinking.
