4-His the largest youth-serving organization in the world. All 50 states and more than 80 countries worldwide have 4-H programs. People of all ages participate in 4-H programs, from pre-school children to grandparents. While it has its beginnings in rural America, 4-H now serves young people and volunteers from major urban centers and from suburban communities and rural non-farm settings as well. From 4-H clubs to school enrichment projects to after school programs, well-rounded young people are developed through 4-H.

In Idaho, membership is open to all youth ages 5 to 19. Members between the ages of 5 to 7 are in the noncompetitive program Cloverbuds. Youth from the ages of 8  to 19 years can compete for various awards in 4-H programs. 4-H encourages participation by the entire family. Families work together on projects and activities, attend meetings and community events together, while learning every step of the way. 4-H is definitely a family affair.
