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 Health and Wellness, STEM, Environment, Food Systems, and beyond.
Every year, 4-H partners with a prominent university to create a new hands-on STEM activity and lesson. Each activity is developed to meet Next Generation Science Standards, is supported with concrete curriculum and materials, and can be modified to fit a variety of grade levels. These programs are perfect for the classroom, after school club, or camp!

We would love to partner with you this year. 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.
