Discover 4-H
Opportunities to expand your knowledge beyond Arkansas
While Arkansas offers multiple educational projects and programs for our states youth,
sometimes you want to explore a project a bit more. In order to facilitate our youth
getting the best experiences possible, we recommend using materials that are research
based, supported by universities and approved by 4-H.
University of California
Serving over 140,000 youth in the state of California, this 4-H program has developed programs to help expand knowledge in everything from Agriculture to Zoology. Check out the Science and Healthy living programs from California. http://4h.ucanr.edu/Resources/Curriculum/
