We stress self confidence, personal well-being and environmental responsibility... 4-H offers free group and individual educational opportunities to encourage youth to wonder, explore, experience and grow in mind and body. Through fun activities under the guidance of caring and knowledgeable professionals and volunteers, young people learn about themselves and their world. We help them build on their strengths as they try new things, reach out to others and compete with themselves to achieve their goals and receive recognition for their accomplishments. 4-H is the youth development program of the University of Connecticut Cooperative Extension System. A part of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at UConn, we belong to a nationwide educational network through Cooperative Extension and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
