Hello,
Tuesday we went to the OSU Extension office where we learned about the history of the extension and the 4H division. Growing up, I knew others who participated in 4H but I never did. I just thought that it was for people who had farm animals but I quickly learned that there are several different projects that kids can take on that have nothing to do with farming. We did learn though, that 4H was initially started to keep farms alive by teaching the kids how to farm.
The extension office is includes 4 program areas: Agriculture and Natural Resources, Community Development, Family and Consumer Sciences (this program is dying), and 4H and Youth Development.
