resources for youth development through 4-H.

How Does the 4-H Endowment Fund Help Idaho 4-H Members?
 
  • financial assistance for youth participating in state and national 4-H youth programs
  • participation in special regional and national educational seminars and conferences
  • adult volunteer leadership training programs for 4-H'ers to attend college or vocational
        school.
  • Become an Idaho Friend of 4-H!
    Idaho Friends of 4-H is a membership program where individuals, groups and businesses can show their support of the Idaho 4-H program. As a member of Friends of 4-H you will know you are helping to make good things happen for kids and giving them a good grasp on a bright future. You will be joining others to support the state's largest youth serving organization and touching the lives of more than 25,000 youth across Idaho.

    Your membership funds are used to support and enhance 4-H programs throughout Idaho by supporting 4-H events, college scholarships, youth leadership training, and 4-H volunteer training. 10% of membership donations collected annually are returned directly to the local county program to directly benefit the local 4-H program. Members can choose to designate their gift to support specific 4-H programs.
