What is 4-H?

It's a learn-by-doing life-skills program that empowers young people.

For more than 90 years, Extension has administered a 4-H Program in Nevada. We teach youth communication, self-concept, team-building, problem-solving, decision-making, self-responsibility, conflict resolution, aspiration-building, goal-setting, community leadership and career development.

4-H is Nevada's future

4-H is the largest youth development organization in the United States, providing hands-on learning experiences for kids and teens.

In Lincoln County, our pathways specifically emphasize engaging after-school programs and clubs for youth of all ages — including premier, year-round offerings in Arts & Crafts, Livestock, Photography, Shooting Sports and more!

Additionally, our Extension, Lincoln County 4-H Professional Pathways integrate targeted college-readiness and soft-skills training for high school seniors to guarantee their future career and professional success.

Join our 4-H Clubs in Lincoln County

We offer different clubs for different ages. We want every youth to be involved in 4-H. If your child is passionate about participating in a club, please sign them up online or contact Cindy Higbee for more information.
