4-H Youth Development

The 4-H Youth Development Program is a growing, changing, and evolving organization of youth, volunteers, and paid staff who work together to provide a safe environment where Colorado 4-H youth develop life skills.

The 4-H Youth Development Program is unique from other youth organizations through its relationship with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA); Colorado State University (CSU), the state’s land-grand university; and Cooperative Extension (CE). With public, corporate, and private sector funding, the programs are researched-based, age-appropriate, and designed for experiential learning. 4-H Youth Development programs are open to all economic, social, and cultural groups.
