4-H and Youth Development

Texas 4-H is a youth development program that builds citizenship, leadership, life skills, and responsibility. 4-H is open to all youth at least 8 years of age and in grades 3-12. The K-2 program is called Clover Kids. While they are not “official” 4-H members, we still offer educational opportunities for youth in the K-2 age group.

Studies have shown that 4-H youth from grades 7-12 are four times more likely to contribute to their communities than their peers not in 4-H.

District 11 4-H is made up of about 5,100 youth from 18 counties in the Coastal Bend district of Texas. To learn more about 4-H opportunities in the district, visit the district 4-H website.
