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.
