Alaska 4-H fulfills the 4-H mission through a variety of programming that fits with Alaska's diverse cultures and environments: from southeast Alaska to the western Arctic coast, from urban centers like Anchorage and Fairbanks to small remote rural Alaska Native villages throughout the state, Alaska 4-H has something for everyone!

Through 4-H, you can experience:


  • Independence and friendships,
  • A sense of belonging with club members and adult volunteers,
  • A spirit of generosity in helping others, and
  • Lots of opportunities to master life's challenges!
  • Volunteer Org Leader Position Description
  • Volunteer Project Leader Position Description
  • Volunteer Resource Leader Description


These values are acknowledged and reaffirmed by 4-H members every time they recite the 4-H pledge:

I pledge

My head to clearer thinking,
My heart to greater loyalty
My hands to larger service
My health to better living,
For my club, my community,
My country and my world.

To Make the Best Better

4-H Slogan:
Learn by Doing
