Virginia 4-H Military Clubs

As military families navigate the challenges surrounding deployment, reintegration and frequent relocations, the Virginia 4-H Military Partnership provides the consistency and connection of 4-H experiences in a safe and nurturing environment. Knowing their children are in quality programs, service members can better focus on mission readiness. Explore this website to learn how the Virginia 4-H Military Partnership offers opportunities for military youth to thrive.

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.

The 4-H Military Partnership Outreach Support Grant Programs

The 4-H Military Partnership Grant program includes partnerships with Army, Navy, and Air Force to develop and support military children, youth and family programs on military installations around the world as well as National Guard and Reserves living in communities. With the support of 4-H professionals, the programs supported through these partnerships differ in focus from 4-H clubs to professional development to military staff members, but each infuses youth development practices within its work and contributes to military mission readiness.
