4-H Mission Statement  

Quick Site Search

 

 

4-H Youth Development education creates supportive learning environments for youth
and adults to reach their fullest potential as capable, competent, and caring citizens.

In support of this mission, we will:

  • Provide formal and non-formal community-focused experiential learning
  • Develop skills that benefit youth throughout life
  • Foster leadership and volunteerism in youth and adults
  • Build internal and external youth/adult partnerships for programming and funding
  • Strengthen families and communities
  • Use research-based knowledge and the land-grant university system

Achievement of this mission will result in capable, competent, and caring citizens.

4-H provides hands-on, real-life experiences through projects, activities, and events. Youth are involved in 4-H through clubs, school enrichment programs, independent study, after-school programs, and special interest programs. Our program is available to all youth, and is offered in every county in North Dakota by an Extension agent. 4-H is the largest and only research-based youth organization in our state. We reach approximately 35% of eligible-age (6-18) youth in our state with programs offered through the NDSU Extension Service.
