4-H offers a wide variety of opportunities for
teens to develop knowledge, skills, attitudes,
and aspirations needed for adult success.
The beginning point for teens to become
involved in all 4-H opportunities is through local
4-H clubs. Through these clubs, they have the
opportunity to participate in activities that could
include projects designed especially for teens,
community service and citizenship activities.
After that there are many leadership
opportunities at the county and state levels
including numerous boards, committees, and
camping opportunities.
