4-H is a youth development program open to youth in grades 5K–13. The 4-H program empowers young people to be true leaders who have confidence, work well with others, overcome challenges, and stick with a job until it is done. Youth who belong to 4-H participate in educational, hands-on learning projects, working in partnership with adult volunteers, to learn project related skills, develop leadership skills, and serve their communities. Choose from over 70 different projects that span from archery to photography and robotics to swine. As a 4-H member, youth will learn and have fun with friends at club meetings, project meetings, social activities, camps, fairs, and conferences.
In Racine County, more than 1,000 4-H youth and 250 volunteers from the community are involved in 4-H.
