Empowering Wyoming Youth,
One Experience at a Time
Wyoming 4-H
4-H is where kids grow—into confident leaders, creative thinkers, and caring community members. Through hands-on learning and real-world experiences, Wyoming youth ages 5 to 18 explore their interests, build lasting friendships, and discover just how much they’re capable of.
Whether you’re raising animals, coding a robot, painting a mural, or lending a hand in your town—there’s a place for you in 4-H.
Join us, and learn by doing.
4-H Basics
4-H is an informal, practical, learning-by-doing educational program for youth. The purpose of 4-H is to help youth acquire knowledge, develop life skills, and form attitudes that will enable them to become self-directing, productive members of society.
Professional and volunteer staff provide educational projects and activities in animal science, home economics, natural resources, and handcrafts, as well as leadership and citizenship.
- 4-H is America’s largest out-of-school educational program for youth.
- Nearly 4.5 million youth nation wide now participate in 4-H, under the guidance of 600,000 extension-trained adult volunteer leaders.
- An estimated 36 million American adults are former 4-H members.
