Talent is Everywhere, Opportunity is Not.

Make every kid's potential count.

Pledge Now

TALENT IS EVERYWHERE.
OPPORTUNITY IS NOT.

COVID-19 has widened the opportunity gap between kids who have access to learning resources and mentors and those who do not. 4-H provides hands-on learning experiences that help set kids on a path to succeed at home, in school, and in their future, but we need your help to do even more.

Together, we will:

  1. Grow and provide 10 million kids with learning materials, experiences and activities across communities nationwide.
  2. Build a 24/7 distance learning platform easily accessible to all kids and families.
  3. Support social and emotional development for kids through mentoring opportunities.

  • I Pledge...

    I pledge that nothing should hold a kid back.
    Not where they live. Not their race.

    Not what their parents earn.
    Not the language they speak at home.

    Every kid should have the skills they need to make a difference in the world. Not in the future.
    Right now.
