4-H YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
4-H programs provide youth with the tools needed to lead healthy, satisfying and productive lives where they contribute to their community as youth and later as adults. 4-H is committed to Workforce Development and providing youth with opportunities to learn about STEM careers and skills needed to be successful.
4-H youth also build skills in teamwork, leadership, public speaking, and community service. In FY 2023, 4-H implemented three programs: 4-H Youth Development In-School Enrichment and After-school Programs, 4-H STEM Challenge, and Development and Nurturing of Youth in Science Education and STEM Career Pathways (day/residential camps of various themes). These programs offered 58 activities and engaged 3,087 participation contacts across 8 counties in Ohio. The programs targeted vulnerable populations including minorities in inner-cities and underserved rural communities. 4-H also strives to involve the communities to invest in the lives of the younger generation by recruiting adults to volunteer in the in-school enrichment and after-school programs. In FY 2023, the program involved 100 volunteer contacts (78 females and 22 males). Cooking healthy meals
