4-H Afterschool Program
The 4-H Afterschool program is a special
effort within the 4-H Youth Development Program
to raise public awareness of the significant
contributions that 4-H has made in the after-school
field. 4-H Afterschool increases the extension
staff work in after-school programs and strengthens
collaborations with other youth-serving organizations.
The program also increases the quality and
availability of after-school programs in
America's communities. With a 4-H presence
in or near all 3,150 counties in the United
States, every staff member and youth in an
after-school program can benefit from the “learn
by doing,” “hands-on” approach
used by 4-H.
The programs and resources available through 4-H
Afterschool help youth achieve social,
emotional, physical, and academic success
while developing healthy lifestyles and
behaviors. Everything available from 4-H
Afterschool is easily accessible for professionals,
organizations, parents, and anyone else
interested in this youth development program.
