Description
From the center of the city to the acreage of Wilton, Sacramento County 4-H brings learning alive to over 1,800 youth in 4-H club, camp and afterschool science education programs.
4-H nurtures leadership, and young people are seen as resources capable of contributing, not just in the future, but now.
