With its earliest roots in the 1800s, and the first youth club formed in 1902, 4-H has become the nation&#8217;s largest youth development organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our vision is a world in which youth and adults learn, grow, and work together as catalysts for positive change. 4-H&#8217;ers around the country are tackling some of the most current topics such as global food security, climate change, and sustainable energy. Their projects range from agricultural and animal sciences to rocketry, robotics, environmental protection and computer science. Required community service gives them an opportunity for civic responsibility and engagement.The &#8220;learn by doing&#8221; approach and mentoring by knowledgeable, talented islanders, fosters leadership, responsibility, and caring, that strengthens our families and communities. Our San Juan County 4-H youth receive guidance from adult leaders and are encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles themselves, putting to use the 4 H&#8217;s: Head, Heart, Hands, and Health.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-container wsu-dropshadow--medium wsu-spacing-padding-left--small wsu-spacing-padding-right--small\" >\r\n    \n<article class=\"wsu-card  wsu-card--style-horizontal-25\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-image-frame \">\r\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/extension.wsu.edu\/sanjuan\/4h\/fair-and-auction\/\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/03\/2026-SJC.png\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/03\/2026-SJC.png 800w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/03\/2026-SJC-396x297.png 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/03\/2026-SJC-792x594.png 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/03\/2026-SJC-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/03\/2026-SJC-198x149.png 198w\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\r\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Event poster for the 2026 SJC 4-H Fair, featuring the WSU Extension San Juan County logo, a green 4-H clover, and a cute cartoon sheep over a background of clover leaves.\"\r\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"object-position: 50% 50%\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\/>\r\n\t\t<\/a>\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"wsu-title \">\r\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/extension.wsu.edu\/sanjuan\/4h\/fair-and-auction\/\">\t\t\t\tFair Theme: &#8220;Red, White &amp; Ewe&#8221;\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wsu-card__content-custom\">\r\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"wsu-cta \">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/extension.wsu.edu\/sanjuan\/4h\/fair-and-auction\/\" class=\"wsu-button  wsu-button--style-action wsu-button--size-small\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t2026 San Juan County 4-H Fair Information\t\t\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-cta \">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/extension.wsu.edu\/sanjuan\/4h\/fair-and-auction\/4-h-auctions-information\/\" class=\"wsu-button  wsu-button--style-action wsu-button--size-small\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t2026 Auction Information\t\t\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<a class='wsu-card__link' href=\"https:\/\/extension.wsu.edu\/sanjuan\/4h\/fair-and-auction\/\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" ><\/a><\/article>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading wsu-spacing-after--xxmedium\">Upcoming 4-H Events<\/h2>\n\n\n<div\n\tclass=\"js-wsu-events-list wsu-events-list wsu-spacing-after--small\"\n\tdata-component-id=\"4c7adb05cf444b5c949927ea6a8c9038\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-type=\"feed\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-search=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-data-source=\"https:\/\/extension.wsu.edu\/sanjuan\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-count=\"5\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-offset=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-no-results-message=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-display-fields=\"location,description\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-post-ids=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-exclude=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-types=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-categories=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-tags=\"16\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-organizations=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-locations=\"\"\n\t\t><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading wsu-spacing-after--xxmedium\">Latest Local 4-H News<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wsu-news-list wsu-spacing-after--sxxsmall\">\r\n\t\t\t<li>\r\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/extension.wsu.edu\/sanjuan\/2026\/03\/31\/april-4-h-newsletter-published\/\">April 4-H Newsletter Published<\/a> \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe April edition of the 4-H Newsletter is now ready to be read.
