4-H is the youth development
organization of the Texas A&M AgriLife
Extension Service. Our purpose is to
provide young people the opportunity to
learn and develop life skills through
hands on learning experiences. Young
people are Our future so we want to
make every effort to extend the wealth of
knowledge and learning experiences
available through the Land Grant
University System. AgriLife Extension is
part of the Texas A&M University System
with cooperation of local Commissioner
Courts. The 4-H Program has
opportunities to offer all youth including
both urban and rural communities. 4-H
members participate in many activities
which can include everything from
aerospace to showing livestock. With so
many 4-H projects and activities
available, many new members do not
understand the overall process. We
hope that this will be a quick reference
guide for you to use and make your 4-H
experience more enjoyable.
4-H Is A Family Affair
4-H members select various projects
with help of their parents and Extension
Staff. Parents, project leaders, and
County Extension Agents then advise,
counsel, and assist their child in taking
care of, constructing, or being involved in
the project.
Please read through your Parker County
4-H Family Guide to answer any
questions you may have about the 4-H
program. You may also refer to the 4-H
Newsletter as well as the Parker County
Extension website as you set your goals
for participation in 4-H events and
contests.
We look forward to your participation in
the Parker County 4-H program.
