4-H / Youth

Cornell Cooperative Extension Orange County's 4-H Youth Development program provides fun, experiential learning opportunities to help young people grow to be healthy, happy, contributing global citizens.

In 4‑H, we believe in the power of young people. We see that every child has valuable strengths and real influence to improve the world around us. We are the local branch of America’s largest youth development organization—empowering nearly six million young people across the U.S. with the skills to lead for a lifetime.

Join CCE Orange County staff and volunteers in making the best better by contributing to the Orange County 4-H Youth Development program!
