For over 80 years, the 4-H Building has been the heart of Minnesota 4-H at the Minnesota State Fair. That building hasn’t kept pace with the evolving needs of our youth - who are engaging in new, exciting and complex activities and projects.
We’re embarking on a campaign to renovate the building so it’s ready for today’s youth and future generations - from new learning zones in the building so youth can take their learning back to their communities in new ways to overnight summer camps. Learn more about the renovation and how you can donate to make it happen at z.umn.edu/Futureof4H.
