What is Tioga County 4-H? 

A progressive learning program for youth 5 to 19 years old

The 4-H Program is an expansive network reaching every corner of the country; 4-H is the nation’s largest youth development organization. More than 6 million 4-H youth in urban neighborhoods, suburban schoolyards and rural farming communities stand out among their peers: building revolutionary opportunities and implementing community-wide change at an early age.

As the youth development program of the nation’s 109 land-grant universities and the Cooperative Extension System, 4-H fosters an innovative, “learn by doing” approach with proven results. The 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development, a longitudinal study conducted by the Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development at Tufts University, shows youth engaged with 4-H are:

*  Nearly two times more likely to get better grades in school;

*  Nearly two times more likely to plan to go to college;

*  41 percent less likely to engage in risky behaviors; and

*  25 percent more likely to positively contribute to their families and communities.

The core principles of the 4-H movement are reflected in the shared successes of 4-H youth and their communities. To find out how to join 4-H, click the "Join 4-H" tab above.
