Youth Development

Kids Day in the Garden is a family friendly event featuring activities kids will love. 

The 29th Annual California 4-H Horse Classic is the State Qualifier for equine education contests and a showcase for a range of horse show classes.

The California 4-H State Ambassadors will be presenting the results from the 2025 State Field Day contests, live on the California 4-H YouTube channel. Log in and cheer on our 4-H competitors!

 Explore math activities in a hands-on way that can make them fun and exciting. Dive into shapes, Mӧbius strips, stitching curves, Sierpinski triangles, and the Koch snowflake. You'll get to try out these activities yourself and see how math can be incorporated into your STEM projects in a fun way…

4-H State Presentations are being offered both virtually and in-person. Prequalification at Regional Presentations is required. Register for all contests on the main State Field Day registration. Virtual Presentations also have an additional registration form for time slots.

The annual California 4-H State Field Day event connects 4-H members, families and volunteers for a full day of State-level contests. 4-H'ers can connect with other members from across the state, learn new things at the interactive booths, and get inspired by other contest participants.

NEW for the 2024-2025 program year, volunteers will be trained on the 4-H Thriving Model and this kickoff event covers topics designed to enhance your role as a project leader.
