4-H

North Dakota 4-H: Beyond Ready

North Dakota 4-H recognizes that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. 4-H offers engaging, hands-on learning experiences that equip youth to thrive in school, work, and life. Whether it’s learning to fly a drone, coding a robot, or participating in a horsemanship clinic, each experience cultivates critical life skills such as problem-solving, communication, teamwork, and resilience. These opportunities empower youth to discover their passion and develop the courage to pursue it.

Through 4-H, young people build skills that go beyond technical knowledge — they develop the character and confidence needed to navigate challenges and become proactive, healthy, and productive members of their communities. 4-H participants emerge beyond ready — prepared not only to succeed in today’s workforce but also to lead it.

ND 4-H’s mission is to create supportive learning environments for all youth and adults, ensuring every participant can reach their full potential as capable, competent, and caring citizens. Your Giving Day gift will help us continue investing in tomorrow's leaders, fostering youth who are prepared to meet workforce demands, live healthfully, and contribute meaningfully to their communities and beyond.
