Driving impact, together

For over 120 years, 4-H has demonstrated that the more access young people have to Positive Youth Development, the more they harness their talents, skills and potential to thrive. Powered by America’s 110+ land-grant universities, 4-H’s research-backed programs are narrowing the opportunity gap by empowering young people with the skills to lead for a lifetime.

Our research-backed, experiential STEM programs are empowering youth and adults across the country through hands-on learning and digital literacy training. By providing these skills, 4-H reduces economic and social inequities, improves career prospects and instills confidence in youth and adults alike:

Workforce readiness

Our mission is to provide all young people with access to opportunities, so that they have the skills they need to succeed in life and career. Programs such as Smart Cents encourage youth to learn financial skills and habits that will set them up for long term success, while our National 4-H Youth Summit, Ignite by 4-H, expands teens’ career horizons and encourages them to grow as leaders:

Emotional wellness

4-H’s Healthy Living programs empower youth to be healthy in body and mind, providing them with the skills to make positive decisions and lead healthy lifestyles. This not only improves their overall well-being, but enables them to tackle life’s challenges and become leaders in their lives, careers and communities as they grow into responsible adults:
