About 4-H

4-H is a community of young people across America learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills.

Missouri 4-H is about 4-H clubs but there’s lots more!  It's about young people making new friends and memories while preparing to be future leaders - from both rural and urban areas!

4-H is publicly supported by county, state and federal governments.  Private resources, both human and financial, are used to enrich the learning experiences of youth and adults.
