4-H is the non-formal youth development education program of the United States Department of Agriculture and the University of Arizona. Whether you live in the city, the suburbs, or on a farm/ranch, you can belong to the 4-H Program. 4-H helps youth develop through the mentoring and involvement of parents, teens, and other volunteers. They involve youth in organizing and conducting learning experiences in a community setting.

• Hands-on Learning is the basic design of 4-H educational programs. Participants learn by doing projects that are designed to fit the needs of youth at different ages.
• Benefits offered by 4-H programs have been tested with diverse audiences and have met stringent educational objectives and are researched based.
• Life Skills are part of all programs. Most have been designed to meet one or more of the following life skills:

  Build Self Confidence
  Learn to Make Decisions
  Develop an Inquiring Mind
  Relate to Others
  Develop Concern for the Community

• Easy to implement curricula has been designed for non-professional use, so that it is easy for anyone to pick up and use at club meetings, after-school programs or in the classroom.
• Cross Age Learning is important in 4-H. Most 4-H programs have been designed so that older youth can learn skills and teach younger participants.
