Warren County 4-H

 



Our Mission

The Rutgers Cooperative Extension 4-H Youth Development program uses a learn-by-doing approach to enable youth to develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills they need to become competent, caring and contributing citizens of the world. This mission is accomplished by using the knowledge and resources of the land grant university system, along with the involvement of caring adults.

4-H members have the opportunity to learn life skills through all 4-H activities. Life skills are those abilities youth need to develop into responsible adults. They include:

• enhancing learning skills
• strengthening and using decision-making skills
• developing a positive self-concept
• communicating with and relating to other people
• responding to the needs of others and of the community

Cloverbuds

Cloverbuds are our youngest 4-H members! They are in Kindergarten - 3rd grade and do not compete but experience and learn about civic engagement, science, and animals in a non competitive environment.

The Emblem

The 4-H emblem is a four-leaf clover with a capital H in each leaf, standing for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. To use the 4-H name and official 4-H emblem, federal law requires approval by the county 4-H office.
