4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship and life skills. Participating youth, from grades 3-12, and adult volunteers and leaders “learn by doing” through opportunities in which they gain a sense of belonging within a positive group, cultivate independence with guidance from caring adults and peers, and master life challenges.
Here in Utah, we are strong supporters of 4-H. In 2006, Utah 4-H completed over 115,000 activities and projects throughout the state.
Mission Statement: Assist youth in acquiring knowledge, building character, and developing life skills in a fun learning environment that will enable them to become self-directing, productive members of society.
4-H Youth Programs Pledge:
I pledge
My head to clearer thinking,
My heart to greater loyalty,
My hands to larger service and
My health to better living,
For my club, my community,
my country and my world.
4-H Youth Programs Emblem: A green four-leaf clover, with a white “H” on each leaflet.
