Douglas County 4-H

4-H Mission

4-H empowers youth to reach their full potential, working and learning in partnership with caring adults. The mission of 4-H is to provide meaningful opportunities for all youth and adults to work together to create sustainable community change. This is accomplished within three primary content areas or mission areas – civic engagement and leadership, healthy living, and science. These mission areas reiterate the founding purposes of Extension through agriculture (e.g., community leadership, quality of life, and technology transfer) in the context of the 21st-century challenges and opportunities.

4-H Vision

A world in which youth and adults learn, grow and work together as catalysts for positive change.
