The 4-H Pledge

I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living for my club, my community, my country, and my world.

4-H is a Community

4-H programs are delivered through the Cooperative Extension function of more than 100 land-grant universities across the nation. The programs are collectively working toward a common mission of assisting youth in acquiring knowledge, developing skills, and forming attitudes that will enable them to become self-directing, productive, and contributing members of society.

Th 4-H mission is carried out through the involvement of parents, volunteer leaders, and other adults who organize and conduct educational subject/project experiences in community and family settings. These hands-on, learn-by-doing experiences are supported by research and extension functions represented by the land-grant universities, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and cooperating local governments with support from the National 4-H Council and other private support.

4-H Programs

The Guam 4-H Youth Development Program encompasses school, village, and community clubs. Assisted by the 4-H team from UOG Cooperative Extension & Outreach, the 4-H clubs are led by teacher, parent, and volunteer mentors. Youth participants engage in learning experiences related to STEM, citizenship, and health as well as a broad range of other subjects of interest, including, but not limited to, the following.

STEM
