Youth, like adults, must deal with pressures of stress, blended families, peer pressure, unemployment, and other societal issues. The better prepared they become as decisionmakers with high respect for self and others, the less potential there will be for tension and conflict in building a stronger national and world community.
4-H youth development is based on providing youth with 4 essential elements for positive development--Mastery, Generosity, Independence and Belonging.
