Generation After Generation: Youth on Wayne County Farms and the Development of 4-H Clubs

by Rachel Tomei

4-H clubs have been active in Ohio and Wayne County since they first began in the early twentieth century. They serve as social clubs and education programs for young people ages 5-19 in over 90,000 clubs nationwide. In Wayne County, 4-H Youth Development is run through the Ohio State University (OSU). These kids are given the chance to develop various personal life skills, work in leadership positions, and be an integral part of the Wayne County community.
