4-H AND MILITARY-CONNECTED YOUTH
Utah is home both permanently and temporarily to many military-connected youth and families. The 4-H Military Partnerships Program, a national program, provides opportunities for military-connected youth to participate in 4-H in a variety of ways. Utah 4-H is committed to intentionally integrating research-based programs and resources for our military-connected youth, families, and communities to thrive.
Clubs and Other Fun Opportunities
At present, Utah 4-H was awarded national 4-H Military Partnerships Program funding for Air Force-connected youth and we have the following available:
Hill 4-H Archery Club
Air Force-connected youth ages 10 and up are invited to come take archery lessons provided by volunteer Hill Archers.
RU Ready?!: A Virtual Career Readiness Series for Air Force-connected Youth
RU Ready for the world of work? What can you do and learn about now to feel more ready for a future career?
