The Arkansas 4-H Foundation was established in 1951 as a mechanism to provide support to the Arkansas 4-H Programs, which was established in 1908. Its mission is to provide opportunities for youth to develop life skills, form attitudes, practice behavior and acquire knowledge that will enable them to become self-directing and productive members of society.

At the Arkansas 4-H Foundation, our job is to ensure that Arkansas youth have access to 4-H programs that allows them to continue to grow, learn and become positive contributors to our communities.

At the Arkansas 4-H Foundation we simply believe in making the best better!

The Arkansas 4-H Foundation, in partnership with Arkansas 4-H Programs, reaches more than 131,000 youth 5-19 years of age and serves youth and volunteers in 75 Arkansas counties.
