The start of a new year

Mission of The Texas 4-H and Youth Development Program

Prepare youth to meet the challenges of childhood, adolescence and adulthood through a coordinated, long-term, progressive series of educational experiences that enhance life skills and develop social, emotional, physical and cognitive competencies.

4-H Is All About?

4-H is a community of young people across the state of Texas who gain life long skills through leadership, citizenship and life skills. 4-H is about exploring new things and discovering new things for the future.
Over 65,000 youth are enrolled in the 4-H program in Texas and more than 850,000 youth get involved in the 4-H through special school enrichment projects. So, I challenge every one of the county 4-Hers in San Patricio to bring a friend, a relative or someone that is not in 4-H to come and join; they will not regret it.
