4-H Youth Development

What is 4-H?
Sonoma County 4-H Clubs are part of the University of California Cooperative Extension and State 4-H Youth Development Program. 4-H is a dynamic, changing organization evolving to meet the needs of youth in a changing society and world.

The 4-H program was established in Sonoma County in 1926 to help provide clubs for rural youth. It was designed to teach better home economics and agricultural techniques, and to foster character development and good citizenship.

The theme for Petaluma’s annual Butter and Eggs Day Parade this year was ‘Petaluma’s Shining Moments’. Golden Hills 4-H Club is very proud to say that we were awarded first place in the non-commercial float division.
