About 4-H: 4-H is America’s largest youth organization, and empowers six million young people nationwide. The 4-H program is carried out through Cooperative Extension, a network of more than 100 land-grant universities across the country. For over 100 years, 4-H has served young people through the support of volunteers and educators, allowing young people to explore their interests, find their sparks, and meet other young people with similar interests. Over the years, 4-H has evolved, but its goal of serving young people and families through positive youth development remains the same.
