comprised of youth, ages 5-19, and adults. 4-H is one of a kind! 4-H provides a series of learning experiences where youth, with help from parents, inte

rested adults, and older youth leaders, grow personally as they develop skills for living and for responsible citizenship. 4-H'ers have fun while they work and learn together. 4-H happens through club meetings, project groups, individual project work, and special activities and events.

Nebraska 4-H youth are making an impact on the national stage.

This year, Nebraska made history with two members serving on the National 4-H Conference leadership team. Preston Beattie of Sumner and Libby Macklin of Blue Hill helped guide delegates from across the country as they worked alongside federal agencies to develop solutions to real-world challenges facing agriculture and rural communities.

Their leadership highlights the opportunities 4-H provides to build confidence, strengthen communication skills and prepare the next generation of leaders.
