Fourfold Development is unique to 4-H. 4-H supports personal growth guided by the four "Hs":

  • Head: developing life skills and knowledge
  • Heart: building self esteem and supporting positive values that build character
  • Hands: fostering active citizenship and service to others
  • Health: teaching healthy habits
