Inspire Kids To Do!

What IS 4-H?

4-H is a hands-on approach to learning new and exciting things all while making new friends.  Youth learn important life skills through completing and exhibiting 4-H projects and by attending club meetings, camps, workshops and so much more!
4-H is the youth program of Purdue University's Cooperative Extension Service.  Our mission is the education of Indiana citizens through application of the Land Grant University research and knowledge base for the benefit of agriculture, youth families, and communities.  Over 500 young people from Warrick County were club members last year and you can be one too!
