St. Lucie County 4-H

4-H is an educational program designed to meet the needs and interests of youth ages 5-18. 4-H members, parents, and volunteer leaders have great fun learning and working together on county and club activities, group projects, special interest clubs, and state events. Specifically, 4-H programs help youth develop life skills such as leadership, communication, and problem solving while they gain knowledge and skills in various project areas including STEM, healthy living, and citizenship.
