Washington County 4-H Welcomes You
Providing hands-on learning opportunities for youth in grades K-12. Conducted by adult volunteers with opportunities to learn life skills, set goals, build self confidence, learn responsibility, and make decisions.
4-H affects our community by the interaction of youth with adult volunteers and they "learn by doing" in a safe environment. The National Youth Summit identified five categories as necessary needs for youth to become successful adults:
- ongoing relationships with caring and competent adults
- positive activities and safe places to spend non-school hours
- a healthy start for a healthy future
- realistic connections between learning and working
- regular opportunities to serve others
The 4-H Youth Development Program meets all of these needs!
