4-H Emblem

You'll see our clover everywhere!

4-H is in all counties in California! The official 4-H emblem is a green clover with white H's. The 4-H emblem has a federal mark and federal guidelines for its use.

What does 4-H stand for?

HEAD

Problem Solving: ability to sort out complex problems.

HEART

Emotional Development: developing good attitudes toward work and learning; developing acceptance and appreciation of other people.

HANDS

Skills Development: ability to do, skill in doing and habit of doing.

HEALTH

Physical Development: understanding and appreciating well-being and a growing, changing body.

"I love being in 4-H because I have made so many new friends while doing really fun things. My favorite thing has been showing my cavy and my chicken in shows because of all the support from my fellow club members and leaders. I really love being there to support the other kids, too."

– Delaney, Amador County 4-H Member
