Programs and Initiatives

The Nebraska 4-H program offers a wide range of projects that are central to the learning experience of 4-H members. These projects provide real-life experiences, helping youth develop skills such as decision-making, responsibility, and leadership. Some of the project areas include Animal Science, Communication & Expressive Arts, Consumer & Family Science, Environmental Education & Earth Science, Healthy Living, Leadership, Citizenship & Personal Development, Plant Science, and Science, Technology, Engineering & Math[4].

Additionally, initiatives like the Nebraska 4-H Gives Back program encourage youth to engage in community service-learning projects.
