What is 4-H?
4-H is the youth educational program of UNH Cooperative Extension. 4-H provides a supportive setting for all youth to pursue the projects and interests they love, all while serving the community and gaining valuable life skills.
The mission of 4-H is to help youth acquire knowledge, develop life skills, and form attitudes to enable them to become self-directing, productive, and contributing members of society.
The 4 H’s stand for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. The name is directly connected to the 4-H pledge:
"I pledge ... my Head to clearer thinking, my Heart to greater loyalty, my Hands to larger service, and my Health to better living for my club, my community, my country, and my world."
4-H emphasizes the importance of involving youth in the learning process. It is offered free of charge to youth ages 5-18. Youth from all cultural and economic backgrounds get involved in 4-H fun and learning. Members and volunteers live in towns, cities, farms, and suburbs.
