4-H Youth Development

4-H... is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship and life skills.

4-H is the youth education program of OSU Extension Service. Its mission is to develop youth and adult potential to improve communities through learning to live; learning to make a living; strengthening families and communities; becoming lifelong learners; developing leadership; and using research-based knowledge and the land grant university system.
