Helping Youth Thrive Through an Equity Lens

Fact Sheets By the 4-H Program Leaders Working Group Access, Equity, and Belonging Committee

4-H has made a bold commitment to youth across the country; to reflect the population demographics, vulnerable populations, diverse needs, and social conditions of the country (United States Department of Agriculture, 2017). 4-H has affirmed we will help close the opportunity gap for marginalized youth and communities to fully thrive (Extension Committee on Organization and Policy, 4-H, 2019; National 4-H Council, 2020). Making good on these promises requires that all those working with youth in 4-H critically analyze current programs and deliver 4-H programs through an equity lens.


The 4-H PLWG, Access, Equity, and Belonging Committee created a series of Fact Sheets so that 4-H professionals throughout the country can help youth fully thrive.


Ten Fact Sheets:

  • Thriving Through an Equity Lens

  • Immigrant and Refugee Youth

  • LGBTQ+ Youth

  • Youth in Foster Care

  • Youth with Disabilities

  • Youth Living in Poverty

  • Youth Mental Health and Wellbeing

  • African American Youth

  • Latinx Youth

  • American Indian/Alaskan Native Youth

You will learn:

  • Social conditions of the specific youth population

  • Competencies needed to engage the specific youth population

  • Methods to foster belonging and participation

  • Tactics for making 4-H relevant and marketable, and more!

Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo̱hó꞉nÇ«' (the Cayuga Nation). The Gayogo̱hó꞉nÇ«' are members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign Nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. The Confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York state, and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogo̱hó꞉nÇ«' dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogo̱hó꞉nÇ«' people, past and present, to these lands and waters.

This land acknowledgment has been reviewed and approved by the traditional Gayogo̱hó꞉nÇ«' leadership. Learn more
