Statewide events include Texas 4-H Day at the Ballpark in Arlington, Celebrating 90 Years of Youth Development and special State 4- Roundup activities on the campus of Texas University.

have lots of fun in 4-H. All this and more is possible. Each individual uses his or her own talents to create unique experiences through the 4-H. Young people participate in 4- through clubs, special interest groups, camps and many other activities. 4-H is the largest non-formal youth education organization in the United States.

It reaches more than 5.4 million youngsters every year through its mission "to create supportive environments for culturally diverse youth and adults to reach their fullest potential." What does this mean? Youth involved in 4-H have the opportunity to develop and strengthen life skills. This includes workforce, decision- making and leadership skills, which are crucial to success in today's society. Ultimately, young people gain beneficial lifetime expericnes through 4-H and become better prepared adults.
