Resources for
Executive Directors
Welcome!
4-H is the youth development program of Extension. We envision a world in which youth and adults learn, grow, and work together as catalysts for thriving.
​
4-H Youth Development is a strong and vibrant program with a long and successful history. 4-H Educators, volunteers, and members are passionate about the program and can be strong advocates for 4-H and Extension overall. The information here is designed to provide you with an initial sense of direction regarding the NYS 4-H program, where you can turn for more information, and to encourage you to begin reviewing the most critical information.
​
Please reach out to Alexa Maille to explore this information more and answer any questions you have regarding 4-H and the important role CCE Executive Directors play in supporting the program at the local level.
