4-H Youth Development

Growing True Leaders
Leadership Grows Here

In all New Hampshire communities, 4-H helps young people acquire knowledge, develop life skills and form attitudes that help them become self-directed, productive, contributing members of society. 4-H leaders guide youth through the fun learning process.
