4-H Youth

Welcome to the Onondaga County 4-H Program!

4-H welcomes young people from all beliefs and backgrounds, empowering them to create positive change in their communities.

4-H youth learn leadership, civic engagement and life skills. Nationally, more than 5 million kids and teens belong to this youth development organization.

Onondaga County offers local and county-wide 4-H clubs and programs, connections to 4-H camps, and statewide 4-H activities.

4-H is open to all youth aged 5-to-18, who want to have fun, learn new skills, and explore the world. 4-H members have a supportive environment and opportunities for hands-on or "experiential" learning about topics that interest them.

They come away with skills all young people need to succeed in life:confidence, compassion and connections with caring adults to help them contribute to their communities.
