Our Values
We believe the principal element to the success of Alabama's 4-H youth education is an instinctive devotion to time-honored values.

We believe in 4-H, its traditions and ideals, its proven educational methods, its open-door access to all youth regardless of economic circumstance, race or religion. We believe that each 4-H'er, each Alabama Cooperative Extension System youth educator, each 4-H volunteer, is unique.

We believe in them and their work. Each is to receive our respect, our appreciation, our concern, and our support.

We believe that 4-H's core values of work, responsibility, leadership and community
