4-H Youth and Development
Our 4-H program provides a creative a supportive environment in which culturally diverse youth and adults can reach their full potential. Our local county program works to develop life skills to help young people become self-directed, productive citizens. We also work to empower adult volunteers who multiply the efforts of our local county Extension staff.
Guadalupe County youth numbers have increased by the starting of two new clubs in the county and new families interested in enrolling their children in such a rewarding organization called 4-H. 4-H makes a great impact in the lives of many youth and also the volunteers who give of their time and skills to assist the youth.
