Welcome to the new Litchfield County 4-H website.  We are still working on the content and we appreciate your input.
            4-H is a unique and dynamic educational program for youth 7-19 years old.  4-H is the youth development of the Cooperative Extension Service.  Youth develop confidence and life skills while participating in activities and events.  4-Hers are active in project work and club membership while strengthening live skills including leadership and citizenship.
            Young people participate in 4-H through community clubs, as Independent members, through summer and after school 4-H camps.  Life skills learned in 4-H enable youth to become productive and responsive adults with the ability to make good decisions.
            4-H is open to all youth 7-18 years old as of January 1st.  Today, 4-H projects are as diverse as the interests of the youth, including but not limited to, computers, plant science, community service, health and nutrition, animal science and international opportunities.  There is no charge to join 4-H and it reaches youth in all communities from rural to suburban to inner-city.
