4H

Rural youth organization

4-H is a youth development organization focused on agriculture, leadership, and practical skills.

The name comes from its four values: head, heart, hands, and health.

Members typically raise livestock, grow crops, or complete other hands-on projects, often presenting their work at county fairs: She showed her 4-H pig at the state fair.
