4-H Program Information

What is 4-H?

4-H is a youth organization in America where kids learn leadership, citizenship, and life skills through 4-H and community activities. In Trempealeau County, nearly 160 club members are part of one of the 12 community clubs.

The program aims to involve both youth and their families. 4-H helps create connections between young people and adults, helping everyone grow through programs, community activities, club involvement, and service.

The 4-H pledge explains what 4-H is about: I pledge…

  • my HEAD to clearer thinking,
  • my HEART to greater loyalty,
  • my HANDS to larger service,
  • and my HEALTH to better living for my club, my community, my country, and my world!
