4‑H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship and life skills. The Cape May County 4‑H Youth Development Program offers everyone in Kindergarten through one year out of high school the opportunity to explore countless adventures in Science, Engineering & Technology; Healthy Living and Citizenship. Positive youth development happens as youth make new friends, learn new skills, practice leadership and public speaking and come to appreciate the value of giving back to the community. All of this happens with the help of caring adult volunteers.
The 4‑H Youth Development Program has something for just about everyone, wherever they live…in a city, in a town, or in the country. Kids can join a 4‑H club, go to camp, attend one-day themed events and take part in our county fair. There are activities from robots to fishing, from cooking and nutrition to horses and from bunnies to shooting sports. In addition to community clubs, 4‑H participates in partnership activities with various schools and other youth-serving organizations in the area, including Ocean Academy and the Special Services High School, the Nature Center of Cape May and Cape May County Youth Services.
4‑H is one of the largest youth development organizations in America with more than 6.5 million young people ages 5–19, 538,000 volunteers, 3,500 staff and 60 million alumni.
