Empowering Youth. Empowering Change.
The 4-H Youth Development program based in Chester County empowers all youth to reach their fullest potential. From its strong agricultural roots serving rural youth to expanding its reach serving urban and suburban youth, the 4-H program continues to provide hands-on learning in agriculture, civic engagement, health, and science. Delivering research-based curriculum, the 4-H program mentors young people to become capable and compassionate adults through hands-on learning. Whether it be through a 4-H Club, camp, special interest group, school enrichment program, or afterschool program, 4-H provides opportunities for youth, ages 8-18 years old to learn, have fun and make friends. We also offer some activity-based programs for cloverbud youth ages 5-8 years old.
