Readiness
Issue Overview
It’s painfully clear that while talented kids are everywhere, opportunities to find fulfilling and productive careers are not. 4-H is committed to tackling this career opportunity gap by infusing career connections and skill building in areas like communication, critical thinking, and resilience into all our programs. We are also committed to expanding access to in-demand skills like computer science and engineering in underserved communities across the country.
What 4-H (and You!) Can Do
As the only youth development organization with a formal connection to university programs that are research-backed with positive youth development curricula and standardized evaluation, 4-H is a leader in developing well-rounded young people who are prepared for their future with technical and leadership skills that outpace their peers.
