Through 4-H, more than 187,000 young people in North Carolina learn new skills and serve their communities each year. 4-H offers clubs, special interest programs, summer camps, school enrichment and after-school child care. Guided by North Carolina Cooperative Extension educators and adult and teen volunteers, 4-H'ers gain knowledge, skills and experience that help them become responsible citizens and leaders.

4-H is a youth organization committed to building outstanding leaders with marketable skills to succeed in today’s global society. Through the efforts of a dedicated statewide network, 4-H offers programs, trips, and scholarships for members, leaders and families. 4-H youth:

    * Master skills to make career and life choices.
    * Connect with communities and learn to give back to others.
    * Mature in self-discipline and responsibility.
    * Learn to better understand themselves.
    * Become independent thinkers.
    * Develop lifelong friendships and long-term relationships with caring adults.

Join us now as we begin our celebration of 100 years of 4-H in North Carolina in 2009!  For more information on how you can become involved as a youth ages 5-19 or an adult volunteer, please call Pam Jones, Vance County Cooperative Extension 4-H Youth Development agent at 252.438.8188.
