If you need something new for your children to do, think about joining 4-H. 4-H is a youth development program of the University of Minnesota Extension. It is available for youth beginning in kindergarten, 4-H’ers participate in hands-on learning experiences in STEM, leadership & civic engagement, animal science, creative arts, and much more. Through 4-H’s learning process, youth obtain essential life skills such as problem-solving, decision-making, coping, and communicating that help them succeed in school, community, and career. Research shows that those who participate in 4-H have better grades, are more emotionally engaged with school, are more than twice as likely to be civically active, and contribute to their communities.
