Teaching Knowledge and Life Skills
The development of life skills through experiential learning is the foundation of 4-H programming. Healthy youth development strives to help young people develop the inner resources and skills they need to cope with pressures that might lead them to unhealthy and antisocial behaviors.
The 4-H subject matter focused project is the tool that is used to help youth master knowledge and skills. The 4-H program is centered on the use of project materials to engage youth in learning. Curriculum design takes in to consideration the need for hands on learning and incorporates the best practices for building life skill competencies.
Program emphasis is on Science, Engineering and Technology (SET), Healthy Lifestyles and Youth Community Action.
