Welcome to 4-H in Tompkins County!  All youth activities offered by Tompkins County Cornell Cooperative Extension fall under the 4-H umbrella, whether they happen after school, in the summer, or as a workshop, club, camp, or special event.  4-H programs are offered in a wide variety of formats and places because they're designed to fit the interests and needs of the diverse young people who live in our rural and urban communities. Over 4500 young people aged 5-to-19 take part in 4-H activities in Tompkins County each year through 4-H Clubs, Primitive Pursuits, Urban 4-H Outreach and Rural Youth Services.

You can read more about 4-H, its history and philosophy on this site, and you can find ways that you and your family can become involved. Once you see what 4-H has to offer, please call us with any questions you may have!  We look forward to speaking with you, and we hope to welcome you soon to a 4-H program in your community. You can sign up for our monthly e- newsletter here.
