Welcome to Delaware 4-H
4-H is the place where learning is fun, whether it takes place in your school, at camp, in your community or at the University of Delaware. There are plenty of exciting adventures that you can have in your community, state, country and all over the world.
If you think that 4-H is just for rural kids, you will be surprised to find out that you are wrong. Delaware 4-H has something for each of the over 36,000 young people who participate in 4-H each year.

October 07, 2024 | Written by Ernie Lopez, 4-H Youth Development SpecialistEach year, Delaware 4-H celebrates the mission and work of our youth and volunteers during National 4-H Week, which began on October 6th this year.

Take Me to the Fair
July 15, 2024 | Article by Katie Young and Jackie Czachorowski, Photos by Katie Young and Michele WalfredOne of the first things you’ll see when you walk into the Delaware State Fair is the Ferris wheel towering over the fairgrounds. Walk around and try a funnel cake or numerous other fried foods, or cool off with a fresh lemonade or sweet-flavored tea. Explore each animal arena and listen to the moos, the oinks and the clucks.
