Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Middlesex County focuses on educational outreach and enrichment programming for youth in grades K -13 (one year out of high school), through 4-H clubs, special interest programs, school enrichment, and after-school child care education programs.
It emphasizes science education and the expressive arts through a learn-by-doing approach to teach responsibility, community awareness, and character development.
Your vision of 4-H may be county fairs, animal shows, a robotics demonstration, or 4-H camping programs depending on your experiences with 4-H Youth Development. Whatever your vision, 4-H is about helping adults and youth grow, learn and develop into competent people.
4-H gives youth the opportunity to experience a sense of accomplishment and success, key ingredients to gaining a sense of self-esteem.
4-H volunteers are the backbone of the 4-H Youth Development Program. Volunteers receive training and support for which ever role they choose. 4-H volunteers are taught how to provide a safe environment for youth so they can experiment, and grow. We celebrate everyone who has chosen the 4-H volunteer experience.
