Ohio has been a home to 4-H since 1902, after being founded by A.B. Graham. 4-H is one of the largest national organizations for young adults from ages 9-19. Parents love the organization because it helps young adults develop confidence, social skills, and knowledge on various subjects. 4-H also helps young people refine their decision-making abilities, and it teaches them how to become a responsible citizen.
To be a member of 4-H, one does not have to live on the farm or be from a rural area. Only 10% of their thousands of members actually live on a farm. 4-H has a branch devoted to children too young to be a part of its main organization. Cloverbuds is designed specifically to meet the needs of children age 5-8, exploring healthy living, the environment, citizenship, plants and animals, personality development, and expressive arts. Cloverbuds is a great opportunity for young minds.
