What is 4-H?

4-H is a positive youth development program for children ages 5 to 18 years. It is delivered by Cooperative Extension—a community of more than 100 public universities across the nation that provides experiences where young people learn by doing. For more than 100 years, 4‑H has welcomed young people of all beliefs and backgrounds, giving kids a voice to express who they are and how they make their lives and communities better.

4-H in Douglas County looks different for each person depending on project interest, availability, involvement & commitment. Although, each member must choose at least 1 project and 1 club to join. Use the 2 resources below to find a project that you’d like to try and a club that supports that project and works for your family’s schedule!
