Luzerne County celebrates 4-H Week

Luzerne County celebrated 4-H Week, March 17-24. The 4-H program is a non-formal, educational youth development program of the Cooperative Extension System. It is the only youth organization based at land grant universities. The local land grant university is Penn State University. 4-H is open to all youth, ages 5-18. New leaders and members are always welcome.
