Purdue Extension-DeKalb County 4-H

Purdue Extension-DeKalb County 4-H The DeKalb County 4-H program provides exciting educational experiences through hands-on learning! An equal access/equal opportunity university or EA/EOU.

Youth are encouraged to explore and develop life skills, which will help them become a positive difference in the lives of others as well as their own. Has 4-H had an impact? You can find out by making eight random telephone calls, or writing eight letters, or simply stopping eight people on the street. At least one out of every eight Americans has had a 4-H informal educational experience! Opinions expressed on this site may not represent the official views of Purdue University.
