Missouri 4-H military programs

The purpose of Missouri 4-H Military Programs is to support military youth with positive youth development through new and existing 4-H programs on and off installations while providing programming for all audiences about the military and their families.

Background
The National 4-H Headquarters at Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES) at the U.S. Department of Agriculture has several partnerships in place to extend the exciting world of 4-H to U.S. military youth around the world. The goal is for military youth to become involved in 4-H and to be able to continue their 4-H work wherever they move when their parents are transferred or deployed.

State 4-H Military Liaisons have been named in each state to support the work that CSREES/4-H is doing with the U.S. Army Child & Youth Services and the U.S. Air Force Family Member Programs, as well as to reach out to the Army and Air National Guards and Reserve Units.
