Raise: What 4-H Teaches Seven Million Kids in a Resource Review

Abstract

For over 100 years the 4-H Youth Development program has provided countless experiences for youth. This article reviews the recently published book Raise: What 4-H teaches seven million kids and how its lessons could change food and farming forever (Butler, 2015). While the book focuses primarily on the California 4-H program, the author also highlights research from historical 4-H documents as well as thoughts from National 4-H program leaders.
