As National 4-H Week comes to a close, we want to hear from the people who make 4-H what it is—our 4-Hers!

Why do YOU 4-H?

Maybe it’s the friendships.
Maybe it’s the animals.
Maybe it’s learning something new.
Maybe it’s the confidence you’ve gained.
Maybe it’s the first time you stood in front of a crowd, tried something you were afraid of, or realized you could do more than you thought.

There are countless reasons to be a 4-Her, and every story is different.

This week, we celebrate the young people who are learning by doing, discovering their passions, building leadership skills, and growing into the leaders of tomorrow.

Here’s to our Palm Beach County 4-Hers, and all the reasons we’re proud to say…

We 4-H! 💚🍀

Healthy choices. Strong voices. Health Rocks!

Palm Beach County 4-H partners with local after-school organizations to bring Health Rocks! to youth in our community and help them build confidence and healthy decision-making skills.

Using 4-H’s Positive Youth Development approach, Health Rocks! empowers young people to understand the risks of to***co, alcohol, vaping/e-cigarettes, and drug use while developing the skills to resist risky behaviors.

Through strong youth/adult partnerships, we’re helping young people grow into confident, healthy decision-makers!

🐣 4-H Brings Science to Life in Palm Beach County! 🐣

Through the 4-H Embryology Program, schools across Palm Beach County can sign up for scheduled dates to receive an incubator with fertile eggs for hands-on classroom learning.

Students follow the development of the embryo from its earliest stages through hatching, observing science in action. This experience encourages curiosity, observation, critical thinking, and an understanding of life science.

We are proud to support Palm Beach County educators and students through engaging, experiential learning opportunities with 4-H!

What better place to celebrate National 4-H Week than at National 4-H Headquarters?

Palm Beach County 4-H Agent Daniel Gonzalez just wrapped up two incredible days in Washington, D.C. with Palm Beach County 4-H member Musiq Williams, one of only four National 4-H Youth in Action Winners in the country!

During their visit, Musiq had the opportunity to experience National 4-H Week in our nation's capital, including tours of National 4-H Council Headquarters, meetings with national leadership, media and promotional filming, and attendance at a National 4-H Week reception. She even had the opportunity to tour the West Wing of the White House.

We're incredibly grateful to National 4-H Council for creating these opportunities and for recognizing Musiq's outstanding leadership and impact. Palm Beach County is proud to have Musiq representing our community and Florida on the national stage!

We don’t just want youth to consume technology, we want them to build it, question it, and create with it.

Robotics is the ultimate bridge to STEM, turning abstract school subjects into real-world, hands-on discovery:
📊 Science & Math in Motion: Kids use physics to understand movement and math to calculate exact distances.
💻 Tech & Engineering in Action: They bring their own physical designs to life through coding and mechanics.
🧠 Skills for the Future: Beyond technical skills, robotics teaches critical thinking, problem-solving, and reframes "failure" as a fun lesson in troubleshooting.

Palm Beach County 4-H offers opportunities to get involved with robotics through clubs and partnerships with different organizations. It’s a great way to connect with like-minded youth to discover something new, challenge each other and have fun.

Let's inspire the next generation of innovators and change-makers!
