4-H understands that all youth need to acquire 21st-century literacy…the ability to read, write, and compute with competence; think analytically; adapt to change; work in teams; and use technology. Learning 21st-century skills, enhancing the standard course of study, and providing opportunities for youth to grow personally and further connect to their communities are just some of the benefits 4-H offers schools.
