Celebrate 4-H'ers!

, 4-H has a long history of innovation and community impact. Beginning in 1902 with the 4-H Corn Club, all the way up to present-day robotics clubs, 4-H'ers have stepped up to tackle challenges ranging from food security and environmental issues to bullying and emergency preparedness -- and 4-H'ers have succeeded! Current research indicates that 4-H'ers are better equipped to contribute and lead, as compared to their peers.* Results show that youth in 4-H: Are more civically active and make more civic contributions to their communities, Report better grades and are two times more likely to plan to go to college, Are shown to have significantly lower drug, alcohol and cigarette use than their peers.
