4-H Youth Development is a hands-on learning program for Minnesota youth grades K-13 (1 year past high school). We offer online, small group and independent learning experiences for youth of all ages. In 4-H, youth choose the topic they find interesting and caring adults support their learning and leadership. From agronomy to space exploration and creative arts to animal science, 4-H has just the right learning experience for young people.

Our largest learning showcase opportunity is at the Itasca County Fair! Youth conference judge and display their projects in the 4-H Building and all of the livestock and Horse barns. Come see us at the fair!
