Positive 4-H Youth Development Programs for Military-Connected Families

​Who is part of the 4-H Military Partnership?

We're a supportive collaboration between military and land grant university partners whose mission is to
integrate research-based youth development programs for military-connected youth and families.

Zoom into 4-H

Join military-connected youth and their families for our national 4-H meeting (webinar). We'll have fun together exploring what 4-H has to offer, and each session will include a virtual activity. Programs are geared toward 7 - 13. Older youth are welcome to join, as are younger ones (who may need a sibling's or parent's help).  Zoom into 4-H open to 4-H Clubs, Military Services youth programs, individuals and families.
