4‑H empowers young people with the skills to lead for a lifetime.
In 4‑H, we believe in the power of young people. We see that every child has valuable strengths and real influence to improve the world around us.
Through our unique partnership with Kansas State University, we are able to provide opportunities for all youth, ages 5-18, to explore their interests and find their spark! With programs that are proven to work, we're creating a generation that is beyond ready. No matter your location, budget, schedule, or passion, there is a 4-H program for you!
Kansas 4-H is preparing youth to be Beyond Ready by combining hands-on learning, leadership, and life-changing experiences that help every young person discover their spark and build skills for the future.
How does 4-H work?
Become part of a vibrant community! 4-H clubs bring together young people with shared interests, providing a space to build friendships, develop leadership skills, and participate in fun activities.
Discover new interests and develop skills that will last a lifetime. 4-H helps you build confidence, learn teamwork, and enhance your leadership abilities through hands-on learning. Take on challenges and become a leader in your community while meeting new friends and making memories along the way!
4-H helps you explore your passions, set goals, and showcase your achievements.
The Kansas 4-H Youth Development Program depends on adult and youth volunteers to help youth gain the five Kansas 4-H Life Skills of a positive self concept, an inquiring mind, a concern for the community, healthy interpersonal relationships and sound decision making. Whether you lead a club, mentor youth in projects, or assist with events, your involvement helps cultivate the next generation of leaders.
