4-H Centennial Celebration
In 2009, N.C. 4-H Youth Development will celebrate its centennial as North Carolina's premier youth development organization. Reflecting on its historic vision, 4-H is commemorating this event through a variety of local and state initiatives that bring together our state's youth, youth leaders, parents, volunteers, elected officials and communities to create new and innovative 21st century youth development strategies for the future. Since 1909, North Carolina's youth have been given opportunities to become positive, productive, contributing citizens in their communities through the largest youth organization in the world known as 4-H. North Carolina 4-H is the k-12 educational outreach program of NC State University and NC A&T State University and is part of the National 4-H organization. N.C. 4-H welcomes you to get a glimpse of what 4-H is all about. Starting in 2008, more than 208,000 North Carolina youth along with more than 20,000 volunteers will celebrate the N.C. 4-H Centennial Anniversary.
Take time to participate in an upcoming event or attend any of the various local centennial celebration activities to connect or reconnect with other youth and adults and learn more about what 4-H has to offer. As we look to the future, we see 4-H as an organization that seeks to provide individualism to North Carolina's youth as well as provide educational programs that teach life skills. N.C. 4-H programs focus on the areas of workforce development and entrepreneurship, science, technology, engineering and math, healthy lifestyles, citizenship and leadership.
