About 4-H

Tennessee 4-H encourages diverse groups of youth to develop their unique skills and talents to the fullest potential. Young people participate in 4-H through clubs, special interest groups, after-school programs, camps and many other activities. "Learning by doing" through hands-on activities and community involvement empowers 4-H'er's to develop and strengthen life skills.

4-H is a family affair. This includes the parent-child relationship and the extended family of community and state. It is a unique blend of government, private business and volunteers working together to broaden the horizons of Tennessee's young people. 4-H is fun for both child and adult. 4-H is for YOUth!

The 4-H Motto is
To make the best better.

The 4-H pledge:
I pledge my head to clearer thinking;
my heart to greater loyalty;
my hands to larger service;
and my health to better living;
for my club, my community, my country and my world.
