4-H Life Skills

Life skills are basic learned abilities and attitudes that enrich the lives of youth and increase their potential for success as individuals and group members.

• Decision Making
• Acquiring Knowledge
• Taking Personal Responsibility
• Creative Thinking
• Communicating
• Understanding Self
• Getting Along With Others
