What is 4-H?

4-H is an international, informal education program for youth taught by volunteer adults and teens. While 4-H primarily reaches out to youth 8-19 years of age, the Cloverbud program attracts children as young as 5 years of age.

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County 4-H Youth Development Program currently has close to 500 active members from all over the County. The map below shows exactly where 4-H Clubs are located throughout the County.

Whether you’re from a “farm family” or living under the big city lights, 4-H offers programs in many unique areas. Most obvious to many is the animal education classes where youth learn to care for animals from birth, up to the time they are ready for production. However, members also learn life lessons through many home and career centered programs as well. At the end of the day, all 4-H programs focus on the 4-H philosophy of developing competent, caring and capable citizens.

No matter what areas one may be interested in, 4-H is a youth program truly designed for everybody. Together, members and volunteers facilitate friendship, generosity, independence, mastery and belonging.
