Expand Educational Experiences with 4-H
Body

For more than 100 years, 4-H has been on the forefront of teaching young people. What once started with an agricultural focus has become the largest youth-development organization with programming in animal science, college and career readiness, environment and gardening, health and wellness, and STEM.  

Our commitment at University of Illinois Extension to provide exciting, engaging, education enrichment experiences for youth remains steadfast. Through collaboration with schools, organizations, and area community groups, 4-H continues to reach youth in new ways and offer exciting opportunities for exploration and learning.

These programs are perfect for the classroom, after-school club, or camp. We would love to partner with you!
