About 4-H
4-H is a youth organization committed to building citizen leaders with marketable skills to succeed in today’s global society.
· 4-H provides pathways for youth to view learning as relevant to the world around them,
· to connect with their communities, and to become intentionally concerned and
· contributing citizens of their communities and the state of North Carolina.
North Carolina Cooperative Extension at NC State University and NC A&T State University conducts the 4-H program. 4-H is the largest youth organization in North Carolina with 21,221 youth and adult volunteers and more than 240,926 participants.
4-H is best identified by its green four-leaf clover with an H on each leaf. The four H’s on the emblem stand for Head, Heart, Hands and Health. 4-H is the only youth organization based at land-grant universities and provides the first exposure many youth have with higher education.
