To Make the Best Better

The Nebraska Extension in Douglas-Sarpy 4-H program is open to any youth ages 5-18 and has something for everyone! The 4-H experience goes far deeper than what is seen on the surface, teaching skills that last a lifetime. Youth learn critical thinking skills, problem solving, and respect through projects. Projects also place an emphasis on making healthy lifestyle choices and hands-on activities that assist with career preparation.
