4-H Youth and Development
Our 4-H program provides a creative and supportive environment in which culturally diverse youth and adults can reach their full potential. Our local county program works to develop life skills to help young people become self-directed, productive citizens. We also work to empower adult volunteers who multiply the efforts of our local county Extension staff.

Socorro County 4-H
4-H is the largest youth organization in in the world, with 6.4 million youth members. Socorro County's population is approximately 15,000, with 200 youth 4-H members in the county. Much of the county's population is rural, lower to middle income, with large families. Socorro County ranks high in teen birth, crime and poverty. Socorro County youth have a need for learning life skills to become productive contributing citizens. 4-H is an excellent program to teach the basic life skills needed, utilizing livestock projects and other programming. Anyone can join 4-H, youth ages 5-19 and adults too. It is our goal as a 4-H program to keep the youth busy with over 200 projects available and activities throughout the year to help set a good path for their future.
