Adapting 4-H for Hybrid Formats
We’ve annually provided some training for Community Club Leaders to prepare for the upcoming program year. This year will undoubtedly prove to be one of the most challenging. This video provides an overview of how to plan and think about using hybrid approaches to do 4-H meetings. Please watch the video and then sign up for a CCL Workshop to have the chance to work through your plans with Academic Program Advisor Emma Fete and other club leaders. Project leaders can sign up for the Project Leader Workshops to help plan their 4-H project.

Our Mission
The University of California 4-H Youth Development Program engages youth in reaching their fullest potential while advancing the field of youth development.
Head, Heart, Hands, Health. Growing Youth who Thrive.
4-H helps young people to reach their full potential as competent, confident, leaders of character who contribute and are connected to their communities. 4-H serves youth throughout California in urban, suburban and rural communities.
In 4-H, youth design and participate in their own programs and activities. This unique learn-by-doing model teaches essential skills that youth will use throughout their lives, such as identifying sparks, desiring knowledge, setting goals, self-reflection, adapting to new situations, communicating, and responding to the needs of others.
Core Values
The University of California 4-H Youth Development Program provides a wide variety of enrichment activities with the ultimate goal of giving youth the skills they need to thrive and succeed throughout their lives. The focus of all 4-H programs is positive youth development through activities in science literacy, healthy living, and citizenship. All 4-H programs are accessible and open to all youth. For more information about 4-H Core Values, visit Chapter 1: Mission and Direction in the 4-H Youth Development Program.
