Mission Statement
The UF/IFAS Extension 4-H Youth Development Program uses a learn-by-doing approach to help youth gain the knowledge and skills they need to be responsible, productive citizens.

Description
The Broward County 4-H Youth Development Program is a hands-on, practical education program that focuses on building life skills in the areas of healthy living, citizenship, leadership, and STEM (science, technology, math, and engineering) in young people ages 5 to 18. 4-H is open to all youth, ages 5 to 18, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, creed, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity. In Broward County, the 4-H program offers hands-on education and fun projects in many different areas: marine ecology, photography, horticulture, food and nutrition, small and large animals, computers, and much more! These projects and experiences help members learn how to make decisions, develop life skills, and actively participate in the home and community. For parents, 4-H is a family activity that provides leadership and self-esteem training, which helps young people mature into successful and fulfilled adults. But most of all, BROWARD COUNTY 4-H IS FUN!
