The 4-H Youth Development Program teaches life skills to youth through hands-on activities, leadership development, and community involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our programs are backed by Washington State University Extension, Yakima County, and a community of 4\u2011H volunteers and professionals. Through hands-on learning, kids build confidence, creativity, curiosity, and life skills such as leadership and resiliency to help them thrive today and tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the support of adult mentors, youth select from a variety of hands-on project ideas. 4\u2011H programs are available for kids and teens ages 5+ and take place within 4-H community clubs, after-school programs, in-school programs, camps and conferences, short-term community programs, individual-study, and family 4-H groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many 4-H clubs in towns and cities across Yakima County.&nbsp; For more information, please contact the Extension office.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-column\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"792\" height=\"520\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.wp.wsu.edu\/uploads\/sites\/2083\/2013\/07\/YouthwithClovers-792x520.jpg\" alt=\"skd281668sdc\" class=\"wp-image-5029\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2013\/07\/YouthwithClovers-792x520.jpg 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2013\/07\/YouthwithClovers-396x260.jpg 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2013\/07\/YouthwithClovers-768x504.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2013\/07\/YouthwithClovers-1536x1009.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2013\/07\/YouthwithClovers-2048x1345.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-cta \" >\n\t<a \t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/extension.wsu.edu\/yakima\/4-h\/projects-programs\/\"\t\n\t\tclass=\"wsu-button  wsu-button--style-action\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\tYakima County 4-H Projects and Programs Overview\t\t\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-cta \" >\n\t<a \t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/extension.wsu.edu\/yakima\/4-h\/projects-programs\/cloverbuds\/\"\t\n\t\tclass=\"wsu-button  wsu-button--style-action\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\tYakima County 4-H Cloverbuds\t\t\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friendship, fun, and project-based learning! 4-H creates spaces for families, youth, and volunteers to learn and work together on the projects kids care about.
