Vision

Washington State University 4-H Youth Development is developing young people to become productive citizens who are engaged in positive change, meeting the needs of a diverse and changing society.

Mission

4-H youth development education creates supportive environments for all youth and families to reach their fullest potential. This will be accomplished through a systemic approach of foundation and mission driven science to meet our goals to:

• provide formal and non-formal experiential learning,
• develop skills that benefit youth throughout life,
• foster leadership and volunteerism in youth and adults,
• build internal and external partnerships for programming and funding,
• strengthen families and communities,
• employ research based knowledge and the land grant university system, and
• embrace and expand the traditions of the 4-H Youth Program.
