“Learn by Doing.” This is the core educational philosophy of the 4-H program. We know that when provided with positive youth development and opportunities to learn in a hands-on setting, that youth are more likely to retain the knowledge. Helping youth to identify their “spark” or areas that they find interesting plays a large part in identifying an educational path they wish to pursue to ultimately find the place they fit in this world. The goal is to establish a sense of belonging while learning.
