Broward 4-H Association
Broward County 4-H Mission:

Broward County 4-H facilitates the upward mobility and realization of the full potential of Broward County youth. We mentor young people in a 4-H club and instill in them an optimistic view of the future based on responsibility, hard work, and service to others. Thus, they obtain the wisdom that comes from learning by doing, analyzing their experiences, and putting their knowledge to the test.

We develop teams of youth and adult volunteers that are capable of demonstrating subject matter expertise and skills mastery in 4 areas: science, agriculture, healthy living, and civic engagement. The 4-H Extension staff and adult volunteers lead 4-H programs and clubs to teach a number of practical interests: urban farming, environmental science, archery, foods and nutrition, sewing, and many others. 4-Hers explore these projects for general personal development, service to others, and as career options.

To support the development of 4-H youth and adult volunteers, Broward County 4-H stages the annual 4-H Community Fair and other 4-H county events. These activities give 4-H adult and youth volunteers the opportunity to work together towards a common goal and to share their knowledge with each other. These events inspire exploring new areas and achieving higher results. Everyone benefits from Broward County 4-H, because when a significant group of people all want to make the best better, the entire community benefits.
