4-H Youth Development

Head - Heart - Hands - Health

Young people are Pickett County’s future. 4-H clubs teach life skills through project work in a variety of agricultural and home economics areas. A variety of projects are also available for the non-farm youth. Four-H activities are developing citizenship and leadership skills in Pickett County Youth. Their efforts are being rewarded through county, district and state wide recognition.

4-H encourages diverse groups of youth to develop their unique skills and talents to the fullest potential. Young people participate in 4-H through clubs, special interest groups, after-school programs, camps and many other activities. “Learning by doing” through hands on activities and community involvement empowers 4-H’ers to develop and strengthen life skills.
