4-H Youth Development

The 4‐H Youth Development program provides opportunities for young people to develop responsibility and leadership skills, improve their public speaking ability and gain self‐confidence. 4‐H members learn through individual projects, working with other club members and community service.

We are proud of our 4-H program in Owyhee County. Many of our former 4-H members have returned to be leaders and help us continue this great tradition.

Check out the projects we offer on the Animal, Non-Animal and Cloverbud pages.
