“4-H teaches leadership. 4-H fosters confidence. 4-H rewards good, hard work. 4-H encourages an individual to try new things and [that] leaders should not be discouraged.”

4-H is an engaging and fun program where you can learn about animals, responsibility and so much more. There are a lot of activities and opportunities that I can do and have because of 4-H.
