4-H

Welcome to Saratoga County 4-H, we’re glad you are here! We strive every day to help youth become competent, caring and contributing members of society. Through our 4-H Club Program, Special Interest Programs and School Outreach Programming we provide diverse, hands-on learning experience for youth. 4-H also looks to create healthy youth-adult partnerships with our network of caring local volunteers.

We look forward to connecting with you!

People often ask what impact 4-H Youth Development has on its participants. We know from our experiences that 4-H changes lives, helping youth to become confident, mature adults ready to succeed in today’s challenging world. Studies show that youth participating in 4-H do better in school, are more motivated to help others, feel safe to try new things, and develop lasting friendships.

Each year, roughly half a million youth from urban, suburban, and rural communities across New York participate in 4-H experiences. 4-H programs are offered in a number of research-tested outreach strategies: school enrichment and after-school programs, camp settings and community clubs. Additionally, fairs and festivals offer youth an opportunity to demonstrate their skills and earn recognition for their best work.
