The mission of Nebraska 4-H is to empower youth to reach their full potential by working and learning in partnership with caring adults. Nebraska 4-H strives to help young people achieve their greatest potential by introducing high-quality youth development programs and experiences into the lives of Nebraska youth and families. By taking part in Nebraska 4-H, youth are preparing for a successful future.
Educational experiences offered through Nebraska 4-H focus upon the following priorities: Agriculture Literacy, Career & College Success, Entrepreneurship, Environmental Education, Healthy Living, Leadership Development and Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics. These programming priorities are delivered through five primary modes, including camps, clubs, school enrichment, afterschool and special interest.
4-H empowers young people to be true leaders. True leaders are young people who have confidence; know how to work well with others; can endure through challenges; and will stick to a job until it gets done. In 4-H, we believe true leaders aren't born-they are grown. The 4-H experience is proven to grow true leaders with life skills like confidence, independence, resilience, and compassion.
