4-H is a nationwide youth development program for ages 5-18. There are over 6 million youth in 4-H across America learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills. On the Qualla Boundary, our 4-H program additionally adds Cherokee history, language, and culture into ALL of our programs so that our youth have the tools to succeed as Native leaders!

The 4 H’s stand for head, heart, hands, and health! Our signature programs involve agriculture, STEM, healthy living, and civic engagement.

If you are interested in joining 4-H, please contact Sally Dixon at srdixon@ncsu.edu or 828-359-6936.
