RI 4-H is the youth outreach education program of Cooperative Extension in the University of Rhode Island’s College of the Environment and Life Sciences. From the beginning, a century ago, this youth-serving organization offered "hands-on" learning activities for young people so they might become productive citizens. Today youth participate in educational programs that are based in Science and Technology, Healthy Lifestyles and Citizenship. There are many more 4-H PROJECT areas within those broad program areas. Self directed study and “Learning by Doing” are key to the attraction and success of the 4-H program. Four-H members learn: biology concepts by actually working with animals and plants, health by learning to read food labels and fix their Bicycles and cooperation by working with their peers in groups. These are some examples of the programs and projects 4-H groups do. To Join 4-H click here to get more information.
