About the program:
Provides hands-on learning experiences to youth under the guidance of adult or teen 4-H volunteers trained by 4-H agents. Uses experiential learning opportunities to teach the latest research based subject matter knowledge and to foster skill development in effective citizenship, leadership, and other life skills. Youth participates in educational experiences at 4-H educational centers. 4-H has both a school based delivery model and a community based delivery model so maximum access to Virginia's youth is provided. The specific learning experiences a 4-H member participates in are shaped locally and supported at the state and national levels. 4-H members learn how to: make decisions, manage resources, work with others, and utilize effective communication skills. 4-H serves as an effective prevention educational program. Involvement in 4-H reduces the potential for dysfunctional involvement in the community by youth.
