4-H is a youth development program created in 1902 to teach future generations new techniques which they will use in the real world. These techniques are focused into the three categories of leadership, citizenship, and life skills.
4-H is an organization for youth, ages 5-19, that promotes hands-on learning and is based on parent and volunteer participation. 4-H welcomes all youth and adult leaders from all backgrounds in all locales regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, pregnancy, physical or mental disability, medical condition, ancestry, marital status, age, sexual orientation, citizenship, or status as a covered veteran.
