The 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development (PYD), the first-ever longitudinal study to measure the characteristics that contribute to PYD, provides excellent information about how

4-H helps kids be more successful and how communities benefit from 4-H involvement. The release of findings from this study provides a great opportunity for local 4-H programs to promote the now proven benefits of youth becoming involved in their local 4-H programs. To assist with your outreach efforts, 4-H has created the following materials for you to personalize and distribute to raise awareness about the benefits for youth to become involved in 4-H in your community and the benefits of the community to having a 4-H program:
