Youth Development & 4-H
Overview
Through the Division of Youth & 4-H, NIFA provides leadership and oversight to 4-H National Headquarters (4-H), Agriculture in the Classroom (AITC), Children, Youth and Families At-Risk (CYFAR), and the Rural Youth Development (RYD) Grant Program. These positive youth development programs engage youth within their communities, schools, organizations, peer groups, and families in a manner that is productive and constructive; recognizes, utilizes, and enhances youth's strengths; and promotes positive outcomes for young people by providing opportunities, fostering positive relationships and furnishing the support needed to build on their leadership strengths. This is accomplished in cooperation with the land-grant university system and public and private partnerships.
