What
is 4-H
"4-H" is an acronym for Head, Heart,
Hands and Health. Each H is shown on a leaf of the
clover, the trademark symbol of 4-H clubs around America.
4-H is the youth development program of each
land-grant university in the U.S.A. In Colorado, the 4-H program is
supported by 4-H faculty from Colorado State University. At the
county level 4-H programs are offered via county Extension 4-H staff
and adult volunteers who organize neighborhood 4-H clubs. 4-H
programs are also available through school enrichment programs.
4-H youth development programs began about 100 years
ago in rural areas in America to help extend research-based
knowledge from the state colleges to the youth of outlying
communities. Today, millions of youth in cities, small towns, and
rural communities are involved in 4-H projects through 4-H clubs,
schools, and community programs.
4-H
is Family Oriented
4-H youth complete hands-on projects with the help
of skilled, caring adults. Parents are needed to provide leadership,
training and support for youth life-skill development.
