positive youth development organization that
empowers young people to reach their full
potential. A vast community of more than 6
million youth and adults working together
for positive change, 4-H enables America’s
youth to emerge as leaders through hands-on
learning, research-based 4-H youth programs
and adult mentorship, in order to give back
to their local communities.
4-H'ers across the nation are responding to
challenges every day in their communities
and their world. With an expansive network
reaching every corner of the country, 4-H is
the nation’s largest youth development
organization. More than 6 million 4-H youth
in urban neighborhoods, suburban schoolyards
and rural farming communities stand out
among their peers: building revolutionary
opportunities and implementing
community-wide change at an early age.
As the youth development program of the
nation’s 109 land-grant universities and the
Cooperative Extension System, 4-H fosters an
innovative, “learn by doing” approach with
proven results. The 4-H Study of Positive
Youth Development, a longitudinal study
conducted by the Institute for Applied
Research in Youth Development at Tufts
University, shows youth engaged with 4-H
are:
· Nearly two times more likely to get better
grades in school
· Nearly two times more likely to plan to go
to college
· 41 percent less likely to engage in risky
behaviors
· 25 percent more likely to positively
contribute to their families and communities
The foundation of our community lies within
the 106 land-grant universities across the
country that deliver research-driven
programs through Extension agents in each of
the more than 3,000 counties. The 4-H
leadership builds on the strength of our
state and local professionals in partnership
with the National 4-H Headquarters.
