4-H is a learn-by-doing life-skills program that teaches youth communication, self-concept, team-building, problem-solving, decision-making, self-responsibility, conflict resolution, aspiration-building, goal-setting, community leadership and career development. Many 4-H alumni have become elected state officials, legislators and teachers, contributing greatly to the state and their communities. Children who have strong interpersonal skills and support are less likely to participate in risky behaviors, such as drug and alcohol use, early sexual involvement and dropping out of school.įor more than 90 years, Extension has administered a 4-H program in Nevada, part of one of the largest youth organizations in the U.S.
