Dekalb County 4-H
4-H is a learning-by-doing education program for boys and girls in kindergarten
through 12th grade. It can involve “any kid…any time...anywhere” through
one-time events, camps, organized 4-H clubs (with officers and membership
cards), or activities. Young people have an array of choices in their 4-H
experience. Wherever energy, creativity, and involvement match the 4-H
mission, values, and objectives-that is 4-H!
4-H is the youth development and education program of the Alabama Cooperative
Extension System. For more than 100 years, Alabama 4-H has helped young
people develop into resourceful citizens and responsible leaders. To achieve
the goal of helping youth become productive individuals, professional Extension
staff enlist support from caring, concerned parents as well as volunteer
and business leaders.
The purpose of 4-H is to foster skill development in young people. Youth
are given opportunities to select from a variety of programs and projects.
Individuality is valued, and each person is encouraged to discover his
or her own skills, talents, and interests. 4-H helps young people learn
to make decisions, think critically, build relationships, practice leadership,
and develop a concern for their community and their world.
