4-H Youth Development

4-H is a unique organization, in that it is the only youth development organization with oversight and sponsorship by the federal government. At the federal level, 4-H is administered by the United States Department of Agriculture, through the National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

4-H is a membership of youth across Kansas learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills. Caring adults that support our programs are essential for youth to achieve their potential based on knowledge, guidance, respect, and skills they share with our youth.

Each of the four H's of the clover represent ways youth gain self-confidence, self-esteem, grow and develop. Not to mention good friends along the way!
