Families:Why
4-H for Your Child?
Michigan 4-H Youth Development is committed to providing children aged 5 through 19 with opportunities through 4-H that will: Give them skills they can use for a lifetime.
These outcomes for your child are what drive the guiding principles of Michigan 4-H Youth Development programming. (See the 4-H Participant Age Policy document for more information on the different opportunities available for children of different ages.

The primary adults in young people's lives can serve as 4-H volunteers by organizing and leading a 4-H club. 4-H also offers learning materials and resources to help support family interests, and state, national and international events that offer learning opportunities for the whole family. In addition to the youth development experiences offered by 4-H, MSU Extension Children, Youth and Family Programs offers information and programs designed to help families manage a variety of life and home issues. 4-H's Commitment to Your Child's Safety Because Michigan 4-H Youth Development is committed to providing opportunities that are emotionally and physically safe for your child, we have a Michigan State University Extension Volunteer Selection Process for the adults who work with children through 4-H. We also offer links to safety guidelines for your children's online experience to help them stay safe, whether at our site or when they leave our site to visit sites not managed by us.
