Welcome
to 4-H & Youth Development...
4-H is the youth development education program of
the University of Maine Cooperative Extension. 4-H
participants range from aged 5 to 18 and,
traditionally, have organized themselves into 4-H
clubs to support each other as they take on
"learn-by-doing" projects.
In Cumberland County 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.
The Mission of the Maine 4-H Youth Development
Program is:
To educate and empower
Maine youth through hands-on and community-based
experiences.
And the Vision of the Maine
4-H Youth Development Program is:
Maine youth acquire the
knowledge, life skills, leadership abilities and
attitudes to help them succeed now and in the future
through effective collaborations, hands-on
experiential education and self-directed learning.
Our educational programs
focus on:
- Science,
engineering and technology tied to agriculture,
the environment and our communities
- Healthy
lifestyles tied to informed decision-making and
action for health and safety
- Citizenship tied
to youth involvement with government and other
institutions
- Sustainable
lifestyles and communities tied to ecological
literacy and responsible choices
