Upcoming Crawford County and State Extension Events
The Purdue Extension Crawford County 4-H program is open to all youth in grades 3-12 (mini is offered to grades K-2). 4-H programming is tailored to the interests of the youth in our community. 4-H members are guided by adult volunteers using hands-on, learn-by-doing, all inclusive programming that helps to develop skills they will use for a lifetime. Using programming provided by Purdue Extension Crawford County, youth experience 4-H through community clubs, in-school and after-school programs, 4-H camps and many more!
4-H empowers young people with the skills to lead for a lifetime. It's a research-based experience that includes a mentor, a hands-on project, and a meaningful leadership opportunity. Head, Heart, Hands, and Health are the four Hs in 4-H, and they are the four values members work on through fun and engaging programs. 4-H provides youth with community, mentors, and learning opportunities to develop the skills they need to create positive change in their lives and in their communities.
Enroll for 4-H online here.
