4-H is America’s largest youth development organization—empowering nearly six million young people with the skills to go beyond the expected. To be Beyond Ready.
4-H is a Community for all Kids
In 4-H, we believe in the power of young people. We see that every child has valuable strengths and real influence to improve the world around us.
4-H is delivered by Cooperative Extension, a network of more than 100 public universities across the nation that provides hands-on learning experiences. For over 100 years, 4-H has welcomed young people of all beliefs and backgrounds, giving them a voice to express who they are and how they can positively impact their communities.
Through life-changing 4-H programs, nearly six million kids and teens are gaining the skills to be resilient, adaptable, and prepared for success in work and life.


Our local 4H activities are run through the Dickson County chapter of the UT extension office.
