Cornell Cooperative Extension Orange County 100th Year Anniversary of the Orange County 4-H Youth Development Program

Cornell Cooperative Extension Orange County is celebrating the 100th year anniversary of the Orange County 4-H Youth Development Program!

For the past century, thousands of youth have been reaching their peak potential from the efforts of volunteers and staff through the 4-H motto of “Learning by Doing.” It all started in a one-room schoolhouse in Coldenham back in 1923.

Since then, Orange County 4-H has continued to provide fun, experiential learning opportunities to help local youth grow to be healthy, happy, and contributing global citizens.

“We’re calling all Orange County 4-H Alumni! It’s time to celebrate!” says Tom Davis, retired 4-H Educator and current volunteer. A celebration is underway – an alumni reunion will take place Saturday, July 29, 2023 from 12 to 2 PM at the Education Center & 4-H Park, 300 Finchville Turnpike, Otisville, NY during The Country Fair!
