4-H Day of Giving
Give to Colorado 4-H
Talent is everywhere. Opportunity is not. Your gift supports the Colorado 4-H state office in activating the potential of Colorado youth. Serving our state for more than 100 years, Colorado 4-H is a cornerstone of Colorado State University’s land grant mission: to make learning and educational resources accessible to all Coloradans. We need our entire community – donors, alumni, parents, volunteers, and policymakers – to rally together for our kids. Your generosity helps staff – and trains volunteers – to create and deliver engaging, hands-on learning opportunities for youth across the state, guiding them to master the skills necessary to navigate life and help their communities thrive.

4‑H reaches nearly six million young people through Cooperative Extension – a community of more than 100 public universities and 3,000 local offices. Programs are delivered by more than 3,500 4‑H professionals and more than 500,000 volunteers.
4‑H’s hands-on approach is proven to grow life skills like confidence, independence, resilience and compassion through stages and developed through experiences, not instruction.
The result? Kids who are empowered with the skills to lead for a lifetime.
4‑H empowers young people to be true leaders. True leaders are young people who have confidence; know how to work well with others; can endure through challenges; and will stick with a job until it gets done. In 4‑H, we believe true leaders aren’t born – they’re grown.
