4-H Club
Rural youth organization
A 4-H Club is a youth development organization focused on agriculture, leadership, and practical skills.
The four H's stand for head, heart, hands, and health.
Members—typically rural young people—raise livestock, grow crops, and complete projects they present at county fairs: Her daughter's 4-H Club project was a prize-winning pig.
The program operates through the U.S.
Department of Agriculture's cooperative extension system.
