4-H is a source of educational programs to teach youth specific skills related to a wide variety of subjects through hands-on, experimental learning. Annually, more than 700 youth and 160 approved adult 4-H volunteers are active in the Jackson County 4-H program.

In Jackson County, youth develop leadership and citizenship skills by participating in one of 30 organized 4-H clubs. Subjects include science, technology, engineering, math, agriculture, citizenship, healthy living, art, consumer and family sciences and more.
