Nebraska Extension in Cuming County

Nebraska Extension in Cuming County Nebraska Extension in Cuming County strives to serve the community through youth and adult programs. Our 4-H program is open to ages 5 to 18 years old.

For over 100 years, youth and adults have been working together – learning, doing, growing, and serving. Today, 4-H in Nebraska reaches approximately one-third of our state's youth. 4-H continues to grow and evolve allowing new and different opportunities every year. 4-H has something for everyone! We offer many different ways to be involved in the 4-H program. Through traditional clubs, camps, af

ter-school groups, school enrichment, and programs/events we reach a wide range of youth. We offer programs and projects in robotics, computers, healthy eating, fitness, meal preparation, rocketry, clothing care and construction, first aid, woodworking, animals, plants, gardening, public speaking, theatre, and many others.
4-H prepares young people for higher education and potential careers. 4-H does this by emphasizing life skills, such as critical thinking; problem solving; respecting self, others, and the environment; communication; serving others; choosing healthy lifestyles; and managing change and challenges. 4-H also provides youth the opportunity to meet people across one's community, county, the state, nation, and even the world! Lifelong friendships are often formed with youth involved with 4-H. Because the program includes a large range of ages, youth have an opportunity to serve and become a role model for others.
