About
New York State 4-H Youth Development is part of 4-H, where kids and teens complete hands-on projects in areas like health, science, agriculture, and civic engagement. In these programs, they work in a positive environment with guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles. Kids experience 4-H through in-school and after-school programs, school and community clubs, and 4-H camps.
• Schedule: Kids experience 4-H in every county and parish in the country through in-school and after-school programs, school and community clubs, and 4-H camps.
For more than 100 years, 4-H has welcomed young people of all beliefs and backgrounds. 4-H connects youth to hands-on learning opportunities that help them grow into competent, caring, contributing members of society. 4-H is America’s largest youth development organization, reaching nearly six million young people nationwide, and nearly 170,000 young people in New York participate in programs that address community health, engage in civil discourse, and advocate for opportunity for all. New York State 4-H is a part of Cornell Cooperative Extension, and the state office is housed in the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research. 4-H is the youth development program of the nation’s Cooperative Extension System and the USDA. The 4-H Name and Emblem have special protections from Congress, protected by code 18 USC 707.
