Did You Know?.
According to the Virginia Department of Education . . .
- Virginia has over 80,000 school age military-connected youth.
- Virginia also has the highest number of military school-aged children in the nation.
The Virginia 4-H Military Partnership provides intentional learning experiences to help military-connected youth develop life skills needed to cope with military life as well as succeed in life and career.
As military families move frequently and experience the difficulties surrounding deployment and reintegration, 4-H provides predictable programming and a safe and nurturing environment. Knowing their children are in quality programs, service members can better focus on mission readiness.
4-H Helps Young People Excel Beyond Their Peers
Military 4-H Partnerships are supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Institute of Food and Agriculture, 4-H Headquarters; U.S. Army Child, Youth and School Services; U.S. Air Force Child and Youth Programs; U.S. Navy Child and Youth Programs; and Virginia Cooperative Extension 4-H Program (Virginia Tech and Virginia State University) through grant funding at Kansas State University.
