Did you know Susquehanna County 4-H had 396 members and 110 volunteer leaders in 2014? What a great group of people and a fun organization to be part of! Spread the word about 4-H!
Become part of a fantastic organization!
4-H began around the start of the 20th century in the work of several people in different partsof the United States who were concerned about young people. The seed of the 4-H idea of practical and “hands-on” learning came from the desire to make public school education more connected to country life.
4-H found that youth would "experiment" with these new ideas and then share their experiences and successes with the adults.
This soon became known as 4-H clubs - Head, Heart, Hands, and Health.
Later, the basic 4-H focus became the personal growth of the member. Life skills development was built into 4-H projects, activities and events to help youth become contributing, productive, self-directed members of society.
