What is the 4-H Revolution of Responsibility?
It’s a movement for positive change in every community in America. 4-H youth are a
living, breathing, culture-changing revolution for doing the right thing, breaking through
obstacles and pushing our country forward by making a measurable difference right
where they live. That takes uncommon commitment.
4-H’ers across the nation are responding to
challenges every day in their communities and their world.
With an expansive network reaching every corner of the country, 4-H is the nation’s
largest youth development organization. More than 6 million 4-H youth in urban
neighborhoods, suburban schoolyards and rural farming communities stand out among
their peers: building revolutionary opportunities and implementing community-wide
change at an early age.
As the youth development program of the nation’s 109 land-grant universities and the
Cooperative Extension System, 4-H fosters an innovative, “learn by doing” approach
with proven results. The 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development, a longitudinal
study conducted by the Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development at Tufts
University, shows youth engaged with 4-H are:
Unparalleled Reach and Scope
With 540,000 volunteers, 3,500 professionals, and more than 60 million alumni, the 4-
H movement supports young people from elementary school through high school with
programs designed to shape future leaders and innovators. Fueled by research-driven
programming, 4-H'ers engage in hands-on learning activities in the areas of science,
citizenship and healthy living.
Leading by Example
The caring support of adult volunteers and mentors inspires young people in 4-H to
work collaboratively, take the lead on their own projects and set and achieve goals with
confidence. 4-H’ers chart their own course, explore important issues and define their
place in the world. 4-H’ers stand up for themselves and their communities.
These pivotal experiences build a foundation of leadership and skills for success in their
future careers. Learn more about 4-H programs or find out how you can get involved.
Uncommon Commitment
The core principles of the 4-H movement are reflected in the shared successes of 4-H
youth and their communities. So, what are the principles that drive 4-H?
The 4-Hs
Head, Heart, Hands, and Health are the four Hs in 4-H, and they are the four values
members work on through fun and engaging programs.
