Local youth
celebrate National
4-H Week
Rappahannock County youth will join others in Virginia and across the nation to celebrate National 4-H Week, Oct. 713.
National 4-H Week marks the beginning of the 4-H program’s 106th year of existence. 4-H originated from a need for basic agricultural education for youth, but today the program offers a comprehensive curriculum that includes career and economic education, citizenship, communication and expressive arts, family sciences, and leadership.
As Extension’s youth development service, Virginia 4-H engages youth ages 5 to 19 in hands-on educational programs and activities designed to help them gain the knowledge, life skills, and attitudes that will further their development as self-directing, contributing, productive members of society. Virginia 4-H has more than 160.000 members and 20,000 volunteers in its programs and activities. Last year, more than 24.000 children and teens benefited from a 4-H camping experience.
In Rappahannock County, youth can join one of our nine 4H Clubs, which include:
