The 4-H Citizenship project focuses on efforts to prepare youth for effective and active civic participation. We strive to develop competent and responsible citizens by providing formal instruction in government, law, community action and democracy that focuses on issues that youth view as important in their lives. These practices help youth increase their civic knowledge and interest in politics, improves critical thinking and communication skills and gives youth opportunities to apply what they learn through community service and service-learning activities.
The National 4-H Science, Engineering & Technology (SET) mandate focuses on increasing science, engineering and technology knowlege, skills and comptencies by providing opportunities for hands-on scientific learning and discovery in 4-H clubs. Although the United States is currently the world’s economic and military leader, we are at a critical juncture. We must adapt to meet the evolving economic and national security landscape of the 21st century. 4-H can focus resources and expertise through SET to improve science literacy; increase the number of American students seeking undergraduate degrees in science, technology and engineering; and increase the number of young adults pursuing careers in these fields.
