Harris County LEADERS Camp Extension Office

4-H Clubs are effective in helping youth develop critical life skills

such as decision-making, responsibility, interpersonal skills, a

service ethic, and social skills. In addition, 4-H Clubs emphasize

developing practical, technical skills. Members often cited the

hands-on learning opportunities available through the club

experience as vital to their skill development (Astroth, 1996).
