Clearwater County 4-H

Clearwater County 4-H.

What is 4-H?
Minnesota 4-H youth development offers age-appropriate, hands-on learning via short-and long-term projects and activities, including:

* 4-H clubs
* Special-interest groups
* After-school programs
* Volunteering
* Civic engagement
* Community service
* Camping
* School enrichment

In 4-H, youth design and participate in their own programs and activities. This unique, learn-by-doing model teaches kids essential, transferrable skills that they'll use throughout their lives, such as problem solving, decision making, coping, communicating and responding to the needs of others.

Whether youth are building rockets, raising dairy cows, or writing musical plays, 4-H gives them the skills they need to succeed in life.

4-H has something for everyone! Youth in kindergarten through one year past high school can participate in short-term activities or longer-term clubs, where groups meet regularly to work on projects, perform community service and develop leadership skills.

4-H offers activities in:

* Science, engineering and technology
* Citizenship and leadership
* Healthy living
* Animal science

No matter which project they choose, through 4-H youth will learn public speaking skills, how to collaborate, understand government and community, and how to develop and reach life and career goals.
