New Hampshire 4-H offers program pathways as a way to create sequential learning experiences that spark interest, build mastery of skill, and grows true leaders. Each county specializes their pathways for the needs of their youth and families, while aligning with the National 4-H Mission Mandates (Healthy Living, Citizenship, and Science).

Strafford County 4-H offers multiple opportunities and delivery options for youth and their families to engage. Whether you are new to 4-H or have been part of the 4-H world for a while, there is something for everyone! From hour-long educational experiences to multi-day workshops to community clubs, youth can choose how they want to be involved.  Below are current pathway opportunities available in Strafford County.  Please contact the Strafford County 4-H program staff for more information.
