Citizenship and Civic Engagement

4-H Civic Engagement is the knowledge, skills, attitudes and motivation that give youth the capacity to move beyond one’s individual self-interest and to be committed to the well-being of some larger group. 4‑H Civic Engagement programs empower young people to be well-informed citizens who are actively engaged in their communities and the world.

Youth make a positive difference by engaging in learning opportunities that give them a heightened sense of responsibility and capacity to connect as active members of their communities, nation and world.
