What's it like in 4-H? 

At University of Illinois Extension, we believe in giving our youth opportunities to grow their skills and knowledge. We help community youth thrive by helping them find their sparks and connecting them to a community. By engaging with one another and our positive role models who care for our youth's well-being, we help them grow, impact their communities, and find a passion that will last a lifetime. 4-H and Youth Development help our youth find their spark and allow them to grow into the next leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs to meet our communities' needs.
