This innovative program is designed to empower young students with essential skills in agriculture, leadership, and community engagement, fostering a love for learning and sustainability.
What is 4-H?
4-H is a renowned youth development program that focuses on "learning by doing." It provides opportunities for children to develop life skills through hands-on projects in areas like agriculture, science, health, and citizenship. By participating in 4-H, students can explore their interests, gain valuable knowledge, and contribute positively to their communities.
