4-H & Youth (Richland County)
What is 4-H? 4-H is the youth audience of the University of Illinois Extension. 4-H is open to ALL youth ages 8-18 years old by September 1 of the current year. There is much misconception that 4-H is for farm kids. Times have changed and so has 4-H. With over 200 project areas to choose from, every hobby and skill can be sharpened through 4-H. Life skills are learned in 4-H. Family involvement is highly recommended in the 4-H program.
