Passaic County 4-H

Passaic County 4H is a youth development program serving youth throughout Passaic County. We are one of the many programs offered by Rutgers Cooperative Extension. 4H is one of the largest youth development organizations in the U.S.; and we offer youth opportunities to explore the areas of science, engineering, technology, healthy lifestyle, and citizenship

The 4H Youth Development program uses a learn-by-doing approach to enable youth to develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills they need to become competent, caring, and contributing citizens of the world. The goals of the 4H Youth Development Program are to: Provide informal, educational programs for youth in grades K13 (one year out of high school). Encourage responsibility, community awareness and character development in youth. Increase knowledge and strengthen skills in adults working with youth through training, resources and support materials. Improve community partnerships and collaborations.
