What is ND 4-H?

4-H Youth Development education creates supportive learning environments for all youth and adults to reach their full potential as capable, competent and caring citizens. 4-H provides hands-on, real life experiences through projects, activities, and events. Our program is available to all youth and offered in every county in North Dakota. 4-H is the largest and the only research based youth organization in the state and is conducted by North Dakota State University Extension.
