Texas 4-H is part of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and the Texas A&M University System. Founded in 1908, 4-H is the largest youth development program in Texas, reaching more than 550,000 youth each year.
Youth join a club in their county and have the opportunity to put their knowledge to the test at county, district, state, and national contests if they choose. 4-H is supported by volunteers who assist county Extension agents in leading projects in the county. The Texas 4-H website houses information that helps direct these activities for agents in the county, educational resources for projects, statewide event pages, and more.
