Lexington Hills 4-H

Lexington Hills 4-H club is a new club located in Santa Clara County, California.

4-H is the largest youth development program in the nation, operated by the Cooperative Extension System, a century-old partnership between the U.S. Department of Agriculture, public land-grant universities, and county governments. The University of California administers the 4-H Youth Development Program in California; the program’s statewide vision is implemented locally through county-based academics and professionals.

The 4-H mission is to “engage youth in reaching their fullest potential while advancing the field of youth development” and to realize the vision of youth becoming “healthy, happy, thriving people who make a positive difference in their communities.”

4-H uniquely prepares young people to step up to the challenges of a complex and rapidly changing world. The purpose of 4-H is to help young people

discover and develop their potential by learning to set goals, make plans and decisions, overcome obstacles, build self-confidence, and understand others.

Over the past one hundred years, 4-H has created leaders who make positive changes to improve their communities—and will continue to do so for the next hundred years. 4-H does this by combining high-quality educational contentwith a process designed to empower youth to achieve their dreams and contribute responsibly to our world.

4H consists of once a month general club meetings and monthly project meetings. We strive to give back to our communities and participate in many events throughout the year.

4-H members are young people aged five through eighteen. 4-H is open to everyone and provides equal chances for participation. Staff and volunteers work together to ensure equitable opportunities for all. Youth can take part by

joining a community 4-H club, participating in a special interest group or a project of your choice,

or attending a camp.
