4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship and life skills.
 

 

WHO WE ARE
 


4-H is the youth development organization of the University of Connecticut's Cooperative Extension System. Belonging to a nationwide educational network with the land grant universities and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 4-H has access to information needed to solve problems today and in the future.

The mission of 4-H is to assist youth in acquiring knowledge, developing life skills and forming attitudes which will enable them to become self directing, productive and contributing members of society.

The mission is carried out through the involvement of Volunteers and
4-H Program Staff who organize and conduct educational and project activities in a community or camp setting.

For more information on the University of Connecticut 4-H Program contact 1-888-FOURH-CT or CT4H@uconn.edu.

CT 4-H Fairs Rabies Vaccination Requirements

If there is a licensed rabies vaccine for a species, those animals must have current rabies vaccinations to enter any CT 4-H Fair.  Remember that cattle and sheep need to be 3 months old to get the rabies vaccine and that it takes 30 days to be effective.  There is not a licensed rabies vaccine for goats, rabbits, swine, llamas or alpacas.  They may be exhibited, but will be separated from close contact with the public.
