What is 4-H?
- 4‑H is America’s largest youth development organization—empowering six million young people with the skills to lead for a lifetime. 4-H is the largest youth organization in the United States with more than 6 million participants. 4-H is best identified by its green four-leaf clover with an H on each leaf. The four H’s on the emblem stand for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. 4-H is the only youth organization based at land-grant universities and the first experience many youth have with higher education.
