4-H Youth Development

The Worcester County 4-H Program is an experiential, age-appropriate youth-development education program offered through the University of Maryland Cooperative Extension. 

4-H is great way for young people to have fun, find friendship, and learn.  4-H reaches a diversity of youth ages 5-18 through clubs, after school programs, resident and day camps, in-school special interest groups, and much more.

All youth can reach their fullest potential within 4-H's supportive setting, guided by competent, committed, and caring volunteers and staff of Worcester County 4-H Youth Development.
