In 4-H we learn by doing. We provide programs and opportunities to youth (ages 5-18) in Lincoln County. Youth complete hands-on projects in areas like health, science, agriculture and civic engagement in a positive environment where they receive guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles. We reached hundreds of youth last year through school based and traditional 4-H club opportunities right here in Lincoln County. In 4-H, we believe in the power of young people. We see that every child has valuable strengths and real influences to improve the world around us. We are America's largest youth development organization-empowering nearly six million young people across the U.S. and 140,000 across Nebraska with the skills to lead for a lifetime.
