4­H Time is Family Time... parents stay involved with their children through mutual interests and friends. 4­H clubs create helping relationships that enable youths to become caring, responsible, productive citizens. 4­H helps youths become integrated into their communities where they learn from adults who share their interests, acquire new life skills*, and help others.

Leadership/Citizenship Program With the support of caring adults, 4­H'ers put democratic principles into action by planning and running their own meetings/events using parliamentary procedure. Teenagers broaden their horizons by learning about leadership/citizenship with other 4­H'ers from across the Western District at the annual Teen Retreat, other district activities, and State 4­H Congress in Raleigh.
