Our Mission
The mission of 4-H in Florida is to assist all youth between ages 5 and
18 in acquiring knowledge, developing life skills, and forming attitudes
that will enable them to become self-directing, productive, and contributing
members of society. This is achieved through three primary modes
in Palm Beach County, which are school enrichment/afte school, special
interest activities, and clubs/members at large.
School Enrichment/After School
Through classroom instruction, teacher training, and a lending library,
4-H enables teachers to enrich the educational experiences of youth.
For more details about school enrichment offered by Palm Beach County
4-H, contact our office to receive a copy of the Education Connection:
A Teacher's Guide to 4-H School Enrichment Programs in Palm Beach County.
Clubs/Members at large
Participation in a 4-H club is an ongoing, long-term experience that connects youth with caring adults and leads to enhanced decision making, problem solving, leadership, and public speaking skills for those involved. Youth participating in a planned 4-H program as individuals without group affiliation are considered members-at-large.
The benefits of 4-H are many... To get involved in 4-H or to learn more, please contact
us or go to Getting Involved.
Special Interest
4-H offers a range of special interest activities for the youth of Palm Beach County such as our various summer camps.
