From the 4-H website: "The mission of 4-H is to provide meaningful opportunities for all youth and adults to work together to create sustainable community change. This is
accomplished within three primary content areas, or mission areas – civic
engagement and leadership, healthy living, and science. These mission
areas reiterate the founding purposes of Extension through agriculture
(e.g., community leadership, quality of life, and technology transfer) in the
context of 21st century challenges and opportunities."
