Home > 4-H

4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills.
4-H provides a supportive setting for all youth to reach their fullest potential. Youth learn beneficial cognitive and life skills through community-focused, research-based experiential educational programs. 4-H helps youth become competent, caring citizens.

Congratulations to all the 4-H youth who participated in the 2012 State 4-H Communications Contest during Maryland Day. All of the participants were local Champions, so special thanks to our judges who had a particularly difficult task selecting a Champion and Reserve Champion in each category for the Juniors / Intermediates / and Seniors.
Check Out the Program with the listing of winners!
