Collegiate 4-H Program

The Collegiate 4-H Club is a community service based club. Collegiate 4-H is a national organization where 4-H'ers can continue their involvement in 4-H while attending college. Service, leadership, and personal development are some of the major goals of the Collegiate 4-H. Collegiate 4-H is not the same as traditional 4-H. Members do not participate in project areas, presentations, or other traditional 4-H activities. Collegiate

4-H's purpose is to provide service to 4-H as well as to the entire university and surrounding community.

 

Just like your earlier years in 4-H, you get out of 4-H what you put into it.  Opportunities exist to help younger 4-H'ers in local counties, to help out with statewide events, and share the impact of your 4-H experience with younger 4-H'ers. 

 

Collegiate 4-H provides its members with a sense of identity on campus, enriches their lives through group projects and recreation, and develops confidence and leadership skills. Collegiate 4-H is open to everyone who wishes to support youth and the 4-H program. It is not necessary to have prior 4-H experience, only to have an interest in the 4-H ideals and in serving your community.
