4-H and Youth

Our Mission

To help youth learn skills for living.

Our Vision

To be a leader in maximizing community and university resources to help youth, adults, and families reach their fullest potentials.

We will:
  • allow youth and adults to work together in family and community environments to create real life learning laboratories that help youth practice skills they need today and will continue to need the rest of their lives
  • reach youth in their own neighborhoods and communities, with unique, hands on learning strategies suited to their needs
  • address current youth issues through positive prevention programs
  • value youth as resources by involving them in significant decision making and encouraging their participation in community roles
  • promote positive adult and youth mentor relationships

Extension Dimension
Are you having a hard time connecting with your children or spouse? Is it hard to keep up with the family schedule? If you are like many families, family time together can be difficult to come by, so that is why mealtime is a great opportunity to spend time visiting with your family. The Family Mealtime Challenge is a University of Illinois Extension effort to encourage families to eat together. Fall is a great time for your family to “Strive for Five” by eating five meals together each week.
