What is 4-H?

4-H is a community of young people across Kansas engaged in learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills. Caring adults that support our programs are essential for youth to achieve their potential based on the guidance, respect, skills, knowledge and wisdom adults can share. 4-H is a nationwide program. Each of the four H's of the clover represent ways youth can grow and develop.


                                      H ead, critical thinking, problem solving;  

others>4-HH eart, self-discipline, integrity, communication;

H ands, serving others; and

H ealth, choosing healthy lifestyles. 

In 4-H, youth have fun with a purpose!

“Celebrate Service”

National Volunteer Week

April 21-27, 2013

Thank you to all the 4-H Volunteers, Leaders, and Parents who give their time to the Finney County 4-H program, so that the 4-H members benefit from what 4-H has to offer to develop their life skills, citizenship and leadership.

“Celebrate Service”  is the theme this year.   National Volunteer Week is a time to celebrate people doing extraordinary things through service. Established in 1974, National Volunteer Week focuses national attention on the impact and power of volunteerism and service as an integral aspect of civic leadership.
