The 4-H/Youth Program provides educational experiences through a "learn by doing" approach. The programs encourage young people to grow crops and various plants, create things with their hands and take care of animals. All activites help youth acquire knowledge, develop life skills, and lay the foundation for becoming a responsible adult and citizen. The 4-H program is organized by University of Florida/Institute of Food and Agricultural Science Sarasota County Extension. This location houses the staff members that work with 4-H.
