What is 4-H?

4-H is a learning-by-doing program for kids.

4-H is the youth development education program for University of Maine Cooperative Extension. 4-H participants range in age from 5 to 19. (In order to show in fairs, the minimum age in some animal clubs is 9.) 4-H is typically organized into 4-H clubs to support members as they take on "learn-by-doing" projects. On occasion there are members who prefer to work independently with help from UMaine Extension or clubs. Young people can also become involved in 4-H through 4-H school enrichment programs and 4-H camps. 4-H teaches young people life skills necessary for success in life.
