SKAGIT COUNTY'S 4-H VISION:
Skagit County 4-H is a friendly, visible presence in every Skagit community, both resourceful and well supported in programming; we encourage diverse, positive educational experiences, life-long learning, fun, friends, and meaningful relationships with adults for all of our productive and self-reliant youth.
The joy of 4-H is seeing young people grow through their accomplishments.
Where is 4-H?
Utilizing a partnership with the Land Grant University system, 4-H exists in every county of every state in the US. Skagit County 4-H operates out of a Washington State University Extension Office, located in Mount Vernon, Washington.
What do kids do in 4-H?
4-H provides educational opportunities for youth through experiential learning ("learning by doing") and by placing a strong emphasis on developing positive leadership skills.
4-H enables youth to have fun and meet new people. There are opportunities to learn life skills, set goals, build self-confidence, learn responsibility and make decisions. Working with others encourages teamwork and communication skills. Competitive situations help youth develop ethics and learn to accept wins and losses gracefully. 4-H builds the leaders of tomorrow.
What ages can participate in 4-H?
For youth ages 5 to 19 (K - 12th grade.)
There are a variety of ways to participate:
Project Clubs
Community Clubs
Family Clubs
After School & School Enrichment Programs
The Skagit County Fair
Who runs 4-H?
4-H is a partnership between community volunteers and county and university 4-H staff. The overall program is administered by a small team of county and university staff, while club programs are operated by volunteer leaders. These leaders are often parents, young adults and community members; frequently former "4-Hers" who want to "give back" to the program.
Get involved in your community through 4-H!
