Youth are feeling lost. You provide a path forward.

With over half of young people reporting loneliness and feeling behind in life, the need for connection and purpose has never been more urgent. In your county, Minnesota 4-H’s dedicated volunteers are answering the call.

With projects exploring 40+ subject areas from STEM to the arts, youth find their personal interests, strengths and passions – what we call their “sparks.”

And it’s working: 4-H’ers are 2x more likely to set leadership goals and 3x more likely to volunteer. 96% of them believe they can make a difference – and they're already building a brighter future in all 87 Minnesota counties.

Invest in connection. Use the drop-down menu to make a gift to 4-H in our country today: https://give.umn.edu/4HGTMD
