UF/IFAS Extension cultivates and inspires leadership in youth by administering the statewide Florida 4-H Youth Development Program. Valuing a hands-on approach to learning, 4-H provides youth with opportunities to develop skills, accrue knowledge and explore career paths with projects and events on a broad selection of topics from agriculture to robotics to mock government. The organization also offers Collegiate 4-H, volunteer positions and sponsorship opportunities, so there are myriad ways for youth and adults alike to get involved.
