State 4-H Military Liaisons

State 4-H Military Liaisons are the go-to connections for all things related to 4-H military programs. They help bridge the gap between the 4-H organization and different branches of the military. Liaisons work to support 4-H clubs both on and off military bases, making sure military kids have the resources they need to thrive. They also help university staff and community members understand the unique challenges that come with being a military child.

Your 4-H military liaison is your main contact for joining 4-H, exploring opportunities, and participating in its programs. To locate your liaison, simply click on your state or territory on the map provided. You can adjust the map size using the +/- buttons in the top-right corner.
The map uses different symbols to represent areas:
  • Blue pins: U.S. states
  • Yellow circles: Territories
  • Blue and white pins: OCONUS (Outside Continental United States) areas of responsibility
  • Red circles: U.S. districts
