4-H Mission
4-H empowers youth to reach their full potential, working and learning in partnership with caring adults.

What we want to do for the future of every US Citizen is to become one with all 4H Communities. Hi there, my name is Ethan Bonser, I am a part of the 4H Community for 11 years and growing. I would like to share some of the featured volunteering opportunities, that you can all get involved.

What is 4H for anyone who doesn’t know?

4-H prepares young people to step up to the challenges in their community and the world. Using research-based programming around positive youth development, 4-H youth get the hands-on real world experience they need to become leaders. 4H is one of many proud communities in America that has been supporting events and has created many physical characteristics over time and creating relationships with every person who has served of what 4H is really about in today’s world.

4-H National Headquarters and National 4-H Council are pleased to reveal that the 2011 National Science Experiment is Wired for Wind , an in-depth look at renewable energy technologies in the form of wind-power. Developed by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension program, this three-tiered experiment will help 4-H young people to enhance their science, engineering, technology and applied math skills by allowing them to:

Designing, building and testing two different wind turbine models Experimenting with variables by examining three different blade pitch angles to determine the effect of pitch on rotor speed Relating their scientific experiences back to their own lives by determining how their communities can harness the power of wind and create a more sustainable and clean energy system Youth will determine the best location for a wind farm in their state or local area by calculating wind power and studying wind data and maps

By connecting these important scientific lessons, 4-H youth becomes a living, breathing, culture-changing movement for doing the right thing, breaking through obstacles and pushing the country forward to successfully face the challenges of the future. Participation in 4-H National Youth Science Day is meant to help spark an early passion for science, engineering and math and to encourage young people to consider these paths of study and future careers.
