What is PYD?
4-H programs have engaged young people in learning and growing for over a century, but our work is about much more than a club, a camp or after school program. It’s about helping youth thrive—now and in the future.
The science behind the success of 4-H is Positive Youth Development, a comprehensive approach to promoting learning and development. Its goal is to help young people feel empowered and develop critical life skills that allow them to reach their fullest potential.
Our programs have positive, measurable impacts on not only social and emotional growth, but the behavioral and cognitive development of our youth.
We make sure PYD is a part of every 4-H opportunity, helping kids thrive with the following elements.
