4-H emphasizes the importance of involving youth in the learning process. It is offered free of charge to youth ages 5-18. Youth from all cultural and economic backgrounds get involved in 4-H fun and learning. Members and volunteers live in towns, cities, farms, and suburbs.

Professional 4-H youth development educators located in each of New Hampshire’s 10 counties provide subject matter support, volunteer management and event planning for the more than 20,000 school-aged youth involved in all aspects of the 4-H program. As part of a national organization, NH 4-H is focused on three priority areas: Citizenship, Healthy Living and Science.
