One of the key features distinguishing 4-H is a commitment to using research-based information in our programming. In an era where YouTube, Pinterest, and Google freely provide biased and opinion-based resources, it can be difficult to know what resources are valid and trustworthy. For schools, this page serves as a compendium of evidence-based curricula that our local 4-H professionals can teach or share. This page provides parents and volunteers with project resources and easy-to-digest “hot sheets” for navigating the latest trends/issues affecting youth.
