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.
ABOUT EXTENSION: Illinois Extension leads public outreach for
University of Illinois by translating research into action plans
that allow Illinois families, businesses, and community leaders to
solve problems, make informed decisions, and adapt to changes and
opportunities.
