4-H clover Collegiate 4-H

What is Collegiate 4-H? 

The Collegiate 4-H program is for college students with the purpose of service, leadership growth and professional development. 

Collegiate 4-H activities can range from working directly with state, county or local 4-H groups to serving as volunteer leaders for projects, experiential education programs, contests, judging competitions or assisting with service projects. 

Collegiate 4-H programs are also actively involved in campus activities, including community service projects and promoting positive youth development.

Why join?

Collegiate 4-H is a great way to stay connected to 4-H while making the most of your college experience. 

You build leadership, communication and teamwork skills while connecting with other students who share your interests. The program also creates opportunities to serve your campus, support local 4-H programs and make a difference in your community. 

Whether you were involved in 4-H growing up or are discovering it for the first time, Collegiate 4-H offers opportunities to build friendships, gain valuable experience, explore career pathways and continue making a positive impact beyond the classroom.
