County 4-H Welcomes You!
4-H
is the youth education program of OSU Extension Service. It is
a non-formal, community-focused, experiential education program
for today's youth. The program combines the cooperative efforts
of youth and adult volunteers with community and Extension resources.
The mission of 4-H is
to develop youth and adult potential to improve communities through:
|
|
- becoming lifelong learners
|
- learning to make a living
|
- strengthening families and communities
|
|
|
|
- using research based knowledge and the land grant
university system

Membership in the Washington
County 4-H program is open to all Washington County youth in grades
K-12 without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, disabilities,
economic status, or geographic location.
Youth in 4-H are placed
in levels based upon school grade. Youth in grades K-3
may participate in the Adventures program. This
non-competitive, group-oriented program allows youth to explore
many topics such as natural resources, the community, foods, science,
art, and more.
Youth in grades
4-12 may join 4-H project or community clubs,
which are led by volunteer leaders. These members may participate
in programs at the Washington
County Fair. Levels are broken down by grade as follows:
Grades K-3 |
Adventures |
| Grades 4-6 |
Juniors |
| Grades 7-9 |
Intermediates |
| Grades 10-12 |
Seniors |
School classrooms,
short-term programs, and special events are also ways youth
can get involved in 4-H.
