Military 4-H Programs At Work in Alabama

Since 1995, 4-H has worked in partnership with U.S. Army Child and Youth Services, Air Force Family Member Programs and Navy to extend 4-H to U.S. military families worldwide. With the support of 4-H professionals, military staff and volunteers provide quality developmental programs for children in safe and nurturing environments so that military men and women can pursue their critical, high risk assignments.

State, county and regional Alabama Cooperative Extension System staff, community agencies, schools and 4-H club youth are reaching out to military youth before, during and after their parents are deployed through a variety of military 4-H programs.

Each state has a 4-H military liaison to support the work with Army and Air Force and to reach out to the Army and Air National Guard and Reserve units through Operation: Military Kids! (OMK). Alabama
