4-H Youth Development

Abstract

4-H learning methods and curriculum materials are well-suited to small groups of youth in various settings, including clubs, camps, and schools. Using a blend of creative teaching methods is essential for getting the attention of youth. As a group leader, the adult helps guide youth in a process of doing, sharing, processing, and applying their knowledge in new situations.
