4-H Foundation and Youth Development

From agriculture to civic leadership, the arts, animal science, STEM, and more, 4-H helps youth rise to their fullest potential and be ready for what's next. Now is the best time to support the New Hampshire 4-H program through The (603) Challenge, which offers matching and bonus funds to amplify your impact. Our goal is to reach 100 donors, and thanks to our generous underwriters, $2,500 will be unlocked once we achieve this milestone. Your support can make a real difference in the lives of NH 4-H youth!
