For more than 100 years, 4-H has stood behind the idea that
youth is the single strongest catalyst for change. What began as
a way to give rural youth new agricultural skills, today has grown
into a global organiza!on that teaches leadership, life skills development, and community advocacy.
4-H is principled in posi!ve youth development programming
and helping youth step up to the challenges in a complex and
changing world. 4-H is dedicated to helping cul!vate the next
genera!on of leaders and tackling the na!on’s top challenges
such as the shortage of skilled professionals, maintaining our
global compe!veness, encouraging civic involvement, and becoming a healthier society.
The Maryland 4-H Youth Development program, through University of Maryland Extension (UME), is organized under the
College of Agriculture and Natural Resources of the University
of Maryland.

minutes, usually on a week night. 4-H also provides a
wide variety of op%onal ac%vi%es/events.
