ABOUT ILLINOIS 4-H:
Illinois 4-H is the flagship youth development program of
University of Illinois Extension and administered through the
College of Agriculture, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences.4-H
grows true leaders, youth who are empowered for life today and
prepared for a career tomorrow. The hands-on approach in 4-H
gives young people guidance, tools and encouragement, and then
puts them in the driver’s seat to make great things happen.
Independent research confirms the unparalleled impact of the 4-H
experience, demonstrating that young people are four times more
likely to contribute to their communities; two times more likely
to make healthier choices; two times more likely to be civically
active; and two times more likely to participate in STEM
programs.
