Boone County 4-H
By far, 4-H is the most known and visible Extension development program, best known
for its
4-H Clubs and summer
4-H Camps, but Extension also offers literacy and adult volunteer leadership
programming related to 4-H and youth development.
Youth development in Boone County is open to everyone, from youngsters to young
adults. Boone County features local 4-H clubs across the county.
4-H is one of the largest youth development programs in America with more than
6.5 million young people and 540,000 volunteers. In West Virginia, one out of every
five youth under the age of 21 participates in 4-H youth development programming.
