findings:
1) 4-H is the largest youth development organization in the United States, supporting nearly 6
million young people across the country, and has young people throughout California in
enrollment.
2) 4-H helps young people become confident, independent, resilient, and compassionate leaders.
3) 4-H is delivered by the Cooperative Extension - a community of more than 100 land-grant
universities across the United States that provides experiences for young people to learn
through hands-on projects in the important areas of health, science, agriculture, and civic
engagement.
4) California 4-H is delivered by the University of California Cooperative Extension, the
research and outreach arm of the University of California, Division of Agriculture and
Natural Resources.
5) Compared to their peers, 4-H youth are four times more likely to make a positive
contribution to their communities and two times more likely to take courses and pursue
careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
6) 4-H alumni are three times more likely to participate in community service.
7) National 4-H Week showcases the incredible ways that 4-H provides opportunities for all
