SDSU Extension 4-H

4-H fosters an innovative, "learn by doing" approach with proven results. 

Since the late 1800s, 4-H has been an organization that specializes in forging connections, learning hands-on skills, and teaching the next generation to solve global challenges. South Dakota 4-H is dedicated to providing growth opportunities for the children of our state that are equally as unique, creative, and diverse as they are. Will you consider supporting us with a gift? 

Mission
