is built upon the principles of developing belonging, mastery, generosity and independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Youth, ages 5 \u2013 19, participate in Washington through community clubs, after-school \/ school enrichment programs, and day \/ overnight camps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kids can choose from a wide variety of subject areas\u2014everything from computer technology to the arts, and from robotics to plant and animal sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 4-H program is a voluntary, non-formal, educational program offered to all boys and girls regardless of race, color, national origin, place of residence, or handicap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The curriculum is science-based and developed at our nation\u2019s land-grant universities. 4-H programs are delivered by Washington State University educators in every county alongside 10,000 caring adult volunteers. Today 4-H is everywhere\u2013in cities, suburbs, small towns, and rural communities.
