4-H is an international youth leadership program that we have been involved in for many years. We believe it gives our children so many skills and experiences that they may never gain otherwise. We invest a lot of our time and energy helping our children and those within the community to engage in 4H because it builds our future leaders. 

In 4-H our children can and have learned everything from how to raise livestock, take good photographs, cook nutritious meals, sew their own clothes, to how to manage their money, survive in outdoor weather, welding and blacksmithing. There is no end of skills that they can learn. On top of that they learn how to plan a project, practice public speaking, and know how to run an efficient meeting better than most adults. 

Learn to do by doing is the 4-H motto and it is a great way for kids to learn and gain confidence. We are a 4-H family!
