Mission Statement
The Osceola 4-H Youth Development Program uses a learn-by-doing approach and caring adults to help youth gain the knowledge and life skills they need to be productive, responsible citizens. To achieve its mission, 4-H accesses the expertise and resources of the University of Florida and a nationwide network of Cooperative Extension Service faculty and staff.
Description
4‑H empowers young people with the skills to lead for a lifetime by taking a learn-by-doing approach. It’s a research-based experience that involves a mentor, a hands-on project, and a meaningful leadership opportunity. In Osceola County, we reach over 1500 youth in school and community clubs, in-school and after-school programs, and 4-H camps. Based on interests and guided by adult mentors, 4-H youth actively participate in projects, events, and activities at the county, district, state, and even national levels!
