What is 4-H?
4-H is the youth development education program of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension. 4-H participants range from ages 5 to 19 and, traditionally, have organized themselves into 4-H clubs to support each other as they take on "learning-by-doing" projects. Young people can also become involved in 4-H through school enrichment programs,
4-H camps, by creating individual 4-H projects of their own, and many other activities.
4-H teaches young people life skills necessary for success in the world.
