About St. Joseph County 4-H

 

St. Joseph County 4-H offers projects for children in grades 3rd-12th and supports Mini 4-H for children in grades K-2nd.

4-H is America’s largest youth development organization. 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. Through life-changing 4-H programs, nearly six million kids and teens are learning the skills and abilities to be resilient, adaptable and ready for work and life.

In 4‑H programs, kids and teens complete hands-on projects in areas like health, science, agriculture and civic engagement in a positive environment where they receive guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles. 4‑H empowers young people with the skills to lead for a lifetime.
