The Cooperative Extension 4-H & Youth Development Program at Prairie View A&M University officially started in 1985. Prior to 1985 the youth program was called the Recreation and Outdoor Education Program. Trained professionals and paraprofessionals used fun wagons that contained recreational and camping activities to attract young people and teach them to use their leiure time constructively.
Mission Statement
Prepare youth to meet the challenges of childhood, adolescence and adulthood, through a coordinated, long-term, progressive series of educational experiences that enhance life skills and develop social, emotional, physical and cognitive competencies.
4-H Creed: Learn by doing
4-H Motto: To make the best better
What is 4-H?
4-H Is...
Learning by doing, and is available to all boys and girls in the 3rd through 12th grades, from urban, suburban and rural areas. First, an adult leader brings together youth that have common interests. Second, the youth choose one or more projects. Projects are chosen from among 100 project areas offered, or if you don't see the one you like, you can create your own project. Third, the group enrolls as a club, and fourth meets together to learn and have FUN. Clubs are able to explore 4-H activities, events and trips. In 4-H there are events happening all year round.

ALL YOUTH and adults
Ages 5-8: Clover Kids (non-competitive activities)

4-H Pledge:
I pledge:
My head to clearer thinking
My heart to greater loyalty
My hands to larger service

What is a 4-H Club?
These are the traditional clubs that have been, and will continue to be, the basic unit and foundation of the 4-H program. Clubs may be organized on a project basis or on a community basis.
* In a PROJECT club, all members of about the same age work on the same project area together.
* A COMMUNITY club includes a larger number of members of various ages who work on a variety of projects.
