About the 2022 National 4-H Index Study
For well over a century, 4-H has contributed to the learning and development of youth in significant ways, positioning 4-H as the largest and enduring youth development organizations in the country. Project-based learning and positive youth development have long been the intended outcomes of 4-H, and yet those outcomes have not been systematically measured on a national sample to date. The 2022 National 4-H Index Study is the first time that both 4-H program outcomes and positive youth development have been measured together in a national 4-H sample.
