The youth development education program of Virginia Cooperative Extension, 4-H is rich with learning experiences in which young people partner with caring adults and volunteers in a fellowship unlike any other program available to youth today. Through 4-H, young people are encouraged to participate in a variety of activities that emphasize 4-H’s “learning by doing” philosophy of youth development.  We bring research-based information from our land grant universities – Virginia Tech and Virginia State University – to the youth in our community.  The mission of 4-H is to develop leadership, citizenship, and life skills. 

Last year, Henrico County 4-H had over 6,000 youth enrolled in 4-H programming and 175 youth and adult volunteers! Learn more…
