Rhode Island 4-H has many programs, projects, and opportunities for children and teens ages 5 to 18. There are also opportunities for adults to volunteer.  <\/p>\n\n

The URI 4-H Program offers kids hands-on education to develop life skills that will serve them well as individuals and citizens. Children and teens can join community clubs, participate in after-school programs, or become individual members.  <\/p> \n\n

A leader in youth development, 4-H began as a local-level response to evolving needs for new kinds of educational experiences for youth. It uses the Cooperative Extension System network to offer youth programs and activities to diverse groups of young people in all 3,150 counties across the nation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
