4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills.
4-H Animal Sciences
Youth in 4-H Animal Science projects learn and practice life skills with an emphasis on decision making, acquiring knowledge and taking personal responsibility through participation in 4-H animal science opportunities such as project animal care, judging and bowl events.
Youth develop competencies in animal science, including an understanding of animal sciences and animal management as well as an awareness of agricultural issues in society (e.g. a concern for animal well being and increasing public agricultural literacy.)
Youth have opportunities to learn about the parts of an animal, breeds, costs to raise animals, how to care for animals and much more. Youth can learn about animals without owning one!
