4-H and Youth Development
Benton County 4-H Club Foundation, Inc.
The Benton County 4-H Foundation was created in the 1960s to serve the Benton County 4-H program. It was established as a 501(c)3 organization in 2010.
The 4-H program serves Benton County youth ages 5-19 through the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture’s Cooperative Extension Service. Local clubs are led by 4-H volunteers, who coordinate their efforts with the Cooperative Extension Service.
The 4-H program includes more than 80 educational tracks, including science, technology, agriculture, livestock, leadership and other life skills not taught through the students’ formal education. Many 4-H programs are organized within local community clubs that operate outside of school.
The Benton County 4-H Club Foundation, Inc. provides financial support to the 4-H programs in Benton County. This includes educational materials, competitive activities, awards, camp/activity scholarships and college scholarships.
