4-H, The Positive Choice
4-H offers individuals and families a positive choice and a chance to grow many life skills. The importance of family activities and community service are other important attitudes developed by the many 4-H projects and events youth have the opportunity to participate in. Youth also learn how to make choices and understand how those choices affect themselves, their famlies and their community.
