4‑H programs are grounded in the belief that kids learn best by doing. Kids and teens complete hands-on projects in areas like science, health, agriculture and civic engagement, in a positive environment where they receive guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles.

Members and leaders plan programs that are carried out through all or most of the year.  The Abbie 4-H club regularly meets in the evenings or on weekends and offers self-chosen multiple learning experiences and activities.
