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, creative and cultural arts, environment and gardening, health and wellness, and STEM.
Teacher & Classroom Resources
We can help.
Our commitment at University of Illinois Extension to provide exciting, engaging, education enrichment experiences for youth remains steadfast.
