Head, Heart, Hands, and Health are the four Hs in 4‑H, and they are the four values members work on through fun and engaging programs. 

What is 4-H?

Have you heard of 4-H?

Through life-changing 4‑H programs, nearly six million kids and teens have taken on critical societal issues, such as addressing community health inequities, engaging in civil discourse, and advocating for equity and inclusion. 

4-H is the largest national positive youth development organization delivered at the Maryland state level by the University of Maryland Extension. Our goal is to help children ages 5-18 reach their full potential by giving everyone the ability to explore their passions, learn new skills, give back to their community, and help them find where they belong.
