4-H in-school programs provide for the 4-H model of programming to be conducted during the school day. Often these classes are offered as a school enrichment segment within the school curriculum and can provide an opportunity for enhanced programming not currently made available such as digital photography, robotics, global positioning systems and other topics.
Consider participating in one of these 4-H programs in your school, or contact representatives about bringing the program to your school community. Learn more in the 4-H in schools fact sheet (PDF).
