Welcome to Pasquotank County 4-H!

4-H is the largest youth organization in the United States with more than 7 million participants. 4-H is best identified by its green four-leaf clover with an H on each leaf. The four H’s on the emblem stand for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. 4-H is the only youth organization based at land-grant universities and the first experience many youth have with higher education. The NC 4-H Youth Development Program welcomes you to get a glimpse of what 4-H is all about.

We want to assist youth in Pasquotank County by helping them grow into the future leaders of our community. In the county we have 4-H Community Clubs that serve youth ages 5-18. We have some special interest clubs that focus on specific program areas.

4-H also does school enrichment programing! If you are an educator interested in bringing 4-H into your classroom, please contact us.
