martin County 4-H

4-H is a youth development organization that engages young people in hands-on programs and activities to help them build skills, develop leadership, and contribute positively to their communities. Our organization is often associated with agricultural and rural programs, but we also offer a wide range of activities in other areas such as science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), civics and leadership, and nutrition and healthy living.

Martin County 4-H

We are the 4-H Positive Youth Development Program for Martin County, housed through the University of Florida IFAS Extension and the Martin County Parks and Recreation Division of the Martin County Government. With the support of our local government and state land grant university, along with volunteers, we are able to reach youth ages 5-18 across all of Martin County. Through our outreach programs and 4-H Clubs combined, we are able to help teach youth life skills and help prepare them for the workforce in program areas such as S.T.E.A.M., Citizenship and Leadership, and Healthy Living.
