This study showcases the positive effects that 4-H has on youth who are involved in the program. "The 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development is a longitudinal study that began in 2002, and continues today, surveying more than 6,400 adolescents from diverse backgrounds across 34 U.S. states."
"This in-depth study has discovered that, when compared to other youth, young people involved in 4-H:
- Have higher educational achievement and motivation for future education
- Are more civically active and make more civic contributions to their communities
I really feel this study is a great reason for people to believe in this program and for youth to be involved.
