Agriculture, United States Department of Agriculture; is to advance
scientific knowledge for agriculture, the environment, human and animal
health and well-being, and communities by creating opportunities for
youth. 4-H is the premier youth development program of the United
States Department of Agriculture. Originating in the early 1900's as
``four-square education,'' the 4-H's (head-heart-hands-health) seek to
promote positive youth development, facilitate learning and engage
youth in the work of their community to enhance the quality of life.
Need and Use of the Information: The annual 4-H Enrollment Report
is the principal means by which the 4-H movement can keep track of its
progress, as well as emerging needs, potential problems and
opportunities. All of the information necessary to run the 4-H program
is collected from individuals clubs, and other units. Without the
information it would be impossible to justify federal funding for the
4-H program.
