 What is 4-H?
4-H is the youth development component of the Cooperative
Extension Service (CES). Its mission is to empower
youth to reach their full potential while working and
learning in partnership with caring adults.
Who sponsors 4-H?
The County Extension Office in Palm Beach County is
a partnership between the United States Department
of Agriculture, the University of Florida’s Institute
of Food and Agricultural Sciences, and Palm Beach County.
4-H CLUB 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.
