Scaling PYD By harnessing the national and local power of the 4-H network, we are expanding the capacity of our 3,000+ educators and ~500,000 volunteers, scaling programming to accelerate our impact, and amplifying youth voice. Through this work, we are empowering our six million 4-H'ers to be ready for work and life. This is particularly important for youth in rural areas, as 4-H is the only youth development organization with reach in every county and parish in the country.

Educator Experiences Our highly-trained educators and volunteers are critical for the development and delivery of our quality programming. Through online and in-person courses, conferences and immersions, the 4-H PYD Academy provides research-backed learning opportunities that equip 4-H educators and volunteers with the essential knowledge and skills to plan, implement, and evaluate high-quality PYD programs that help youth thrive. The only online platform to offer engaging, research-based youth and educator content from 100+ universities and 4-H local programming, CLOVER by 4-H extends educator reach by providing over 300 hands-on, educational resources to youth and their caregivers anytime, anywhere.

PYD Events Millions of young people lack access to opportunities that would develop the skills they need to succeed, including confidence, teamwork, creativity, and innovation. 4-H's national youth events engage teens and educators from around the country to find answers to problems and equip them to create change. This empowers them to become leaders; the next wave of innovators who influence others and live the ideals that foster a vibrant and creative economy. Our annual youth events, Ignite by 4-H and Citizenship Washington Focus, see high school students and Extension professionals convene in the Washington, D.C. area for immersive experiences that empower them to connect and find their spark. Ignite attendees explore the best 4-H has to offer in STEM, Agriscience, Healthy Living, Career Readiness, and Emotional Well-being through experiences that include career panels, career preparation, educational workshops, and the development of local engagement plans, while CWF attendees experience hands-on educational workshops, tour Washington, D.C.'s living classrooms, and meet with members of Congress to build the skills to be active citizens in their local communities.
