Alaska 4-H For 95 years, Alaska 4-H has been providing opportunities for youth across the state. Become a fan and share your story with the Alaska 4-H community!

Led by adult volunteers, with assistance from Extension 4-H Youth Development agents, local 4-H clubs are part of the national 4-H system and can draw upon those resources as well as those offered by the University of Alaska and other public and private sector agencies and businesses. While local 4-H clubs are founded according to national guidelines and united by the 4-H mission, they are led by adult volunteers who develop programs that fit youth interests and needs. Club activities are limited only by imagination. Language access services, such as interpretation or translation of vital information, will be provided free of charge to individuals with limited English proficiency upon request to [email protected]. The University of Alaska (http://www.alaska.edu/alaska) is an equal opportunity/equal access employer and educational institution. The university is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination (http://www.alaska.edu/nondiscrimination) against individuals on the basis of any legally protected status. This work is supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

Happy Alaska State 4-H Day!

Today is Alaska 4-H Day!

In 2024, a group of dedicated 4-Hers worked with state representatives to officially establish the first Wednesday of each October as Alaska 4-H Day. Youth traveled to the state capitol in Juneau to support the bill. Some of those youth and other 4-Hers were present when the bill was signed into law by Governor Mike Dunleavy on August 24, 2024, at the Alaska State Fair in Palmer.

Now that’s 4-H leadership skills in action.

4-H clubs aren’t always about livestock. In Nome, Alaska—4-H youth are learning to care for sled dogs, manage a team and learn to mush.

With 20 kids registered, this new club is pushing traditional 4-H animal-care skills to include canines. At the Pup Mush in April, 4-H youth mushed 1- to 3-dog teams. And thanks to fundraising efforts by volunteer leaders, the club purchased two lightweight sleds to ensure future lessons.

October 4-10 we celebrate 4-H programs across Alaska and the country! Do you know what the four “H”s stand for in 4-H? Head, heart, hands, and health. These are the four values members work on through fun and engaging programs. To learn what 4-H means to its members, visit 4-h.org/about/.

At the University of Alaska Fairbanks, the Cooperative Extension supports 10 different 4-H districts in the state—each with their own programs and staff—but all intent on helping young people learn by doing. Find a club, become a member, and learn more about Alaska 4-H at www.uaf.edu/ces/4-h/.

The Fairbanks/Tanana 4-H club doesn’t just talk the leadership-talk—they make it happen. Last year club leaders took 10 kids to Juneau to spend a week in the capitol as part of the Youth in Governance program. 4-H youth met with their own district legislators, spoke about their own 4-H experiences and learned all about state government. Those that come back a second year work as interns; some travel to Washington D.C. with the “Ignite by 4-H” national program.

Watch for more on the next Youth in Governance trip coming February 7-12, 2027.
