 4-H is the youth development program at Cornell Cooperative Extension, linking the resources of Cornell University to young people. We create supportive learning environments in which diverse youth and adults reach their fullest potential as capable,  competent, and caring citizens.
The four H's (head, heart, hands and health) represent four basic human needs: independence, belonging, generosity, and mastery. Research indicates that youth whose basic needs are met in positive ways are likely to grow into active citizens and contributing members of their families and communities. 4-H can help you to help your child meet these needs.
By combining project activities with opportunities to go to camp, publicly show their work, travel, host international youth, and attend meetings and events at Cornell University, 4-H provides a framework on which young people can build self-confidence, responsibility, and generosity. The Chemung County 4-H club program is open to all youth ages 5-19.
