4-H Youth Development offers youth hands-on educational experiences that foster real-world skills, curiosity, and leadership. Guided by our core values of Head, Heart, Hands, and Health, 4-H focuses on STEM, agriculture, healthy living, and civic engagement, providing a safe, fun environment for youth to explore their interests and find their spark.

In Wilson County, 4-H provides a variety of opportunities for youth ages 5–18 to learn, serve, and connect. Young people can participate in community clubs, special interest programs such as Shooting Sports and Horse programs, school enrichment programs, after-school activities, camps, competitions, and leadership experiences. The best way to get involved is by joining a 4-H club (see below!), where youth can build friendships, develop new skills, and become part of the larger 4-H community.

Wilson County 4-H is committed to helping youth become competent, caring, and contributing members of their communities while developing life skills that will benefit them throughout their lives. We partner with schools, educators, volunteers, and community organizations to provide hands-on learning experiences focused on agriculture, STEM, healthy living, and civic engagement. Whether you are a young person looking for new opportunities, a parent seeking meaningful experiences for your child, or an educator interested in bringing 4-H programming to your students, we would love to connect with you.

Ready to join? Enrollment is completed online through 4HOnline 2.0 (below). New members and volunteers are welcome throughout the year, and we encourage you to explore the many ways Wilson County 4-H can help youth learn, grow, and thrive.
