Iowa 4-H Youth Programs provide opportunities for youth to develop skills they can use now and throughout their life. Iowa 4-H builds upon a century of experience as it fosters positive youth development that is based on the needs and strengths of youth, their families, and communities. Iowa 4-H follows the principles of experiential learning, and draws on the knowledge base of Iowa State University and other institutions of higher education in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture.
The Iowa 4-H Connecting Learning & Living programs provide applicable garden-based, nutritional, environmental and agricultural education to youth of all ages, through hands-on lessons and activities that connect learning in classrooms and after-school programs with living on planet Earth.
Iowa 4-H also supports after-school learning programs and service learning projects, which take community service or volunteer projects to the next level by emphasizing both service and learning to create a more meaningful experience for youth.
