Announcements

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:

learning to live • becoming lifelong learner learning to make a living
strengthening families and communities developing leadership and
using research-based knowledge and the land grant university system.

Membership in the Washington County 4-H program is open to all youth in grades K-12 without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, disabilities, economic status, or geographic location. Youth in grades K-3 may participate in the 4-H 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. There are more than 50 projects available in the following areas:

        

School classrooms, short-term programs, and special events are also ways youth can get involved in 4-H!

The 4-H program in Washington County involves 500 volunteer leaders, working with more than 1,200 youth in 120 4-H clubs. Volunteers complete a leader application, provide references, and must attend a new leader orientation prior to starting a 4-H club.
