About Pennsylvania 4-H

“4-H is all about learning by doing. Technology, animal science, designing and making your own clothing, cooking, environmental stewardship, community service, and on and on. At 4-H, if you can dream it, you can do it—your opportunities are only limited by your curiosity. Members work closely with dedicated adult volunteers to complete projects and participate in programs that build confidence and teach valuable life and leadership skills.

4-H members join local clubs where they complete projects in particular areas of interest. A project helps members build skills, expand their knowledge, and learn about careers. Screened adult volunteers provide club leadership and facilitation of educational programs. Any child between 5 and 18 years old can become a Pennsylvania 4-H member.”

Counties may also provide summer day camps opportunities for youth.  Those can be found by contacting the office or watching the Facebook pages.
