H 4 Organizations Youth Generations and Age Groups

4-H is a worldwide non-formal educational program for youth. Founded in 1902, today 4-H has over 6.6 million members in the United States and many more worldwide. In the United States, 4-H is run through a network of partnerships between the government, volunteers, and non-profit organizations. The government provides 4-H resources at national, state, and county levels through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the land grant university system in each state, and the Cooperative Extension Service in each county. Volunteer 4-H Councils at national, state, and county levels provide guidance and expertise to 4-H and are the primary drivers for the 4-H club program. Non-profit 4-H Foundations at national, state, and county levels provide grants and scholarships to the 4-H program through charitable donations. The 4-H program is delivered to youth by both 4-H county Cooperative Extension personnel and by 4-H clubs. A typical 4-H club has 10 to 100 voting youth members and 2 to 30 non-voting adult volunteer leaders.
