4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills.

4-H Program Areas

Maryland 4-H has five major Program Committees which serve to identify goals and actions to achieve the Maryland 4-H Program mission, vision, and core program components. 

The committees are co-chaired by a 4-H specialist and a member of the committee, elected by the committee members. 

Program sub-committees, working groups and event planning groups provide opportunity for the involvement and input of interested faculty, staff, volunteers, and teens in specific project and program areas (e.g. Horse Advisory, Afterschool Task Force, Camping Task Force, and Fashion Review Committee, etc.).

Diamond Clover Revisions
Our Revised Diamond Clover Guidelines are posted on our website in the “Youth and Families” section under “Awards & Recognition”. These revisions will apply to all 2013 Diamond Clover Proposals – note the due date for 2013 Proposals at the State 4-H Office is September 15th – and for future years – remember the September 15th due date at the State Office level. Youth should check for local turnaround times with their 4-H Educators. NOTE: since the Diamond Clover Guideline have just been revised – we do not want to deter any current plans or projects – so, we will accept any proposals approved at the county/city level for this year, so send any that you have gotten approved on the county/city level to the State 4-H Office – THEN for 2013 we will start with the September 15th Deadline. - posted May 15, 2012
