Our partners love 4-H because youth learn responsibility, communication, teamwork, and leadership in a supportive environment.
"Library patrons who participated in the summer 4-H program enjoyed the wide variety of activities, fun facilitators, and opportunities to learn more about 4-H. Families of participants were impressed with the new skills their children learned--especially the cooking experiences like making butter and all the fun art projects. This was a fantastic program and we hope to continue the 4-H fun at the library next summer." - Local Programming and Outreach Coordinator
