The Arizona 4-H Youth Foundation

About the Foundation
The Arizona 4-H Foundation was established to provide statewide 4-H program support and learning experiences for Arizona’s 4-H youth participants and youth and adult leaders which could not be funded by the University alone. The Foundation is composed of a Board of Trustees and ex-officio members including the Dean, College of Agriculture & Life Sciences, Cooperative Extension Director and 4-H Program Director. Trustees are elected to three-year terms, with one third being elected or re-elected at the annual meeting in August. A member may serve two three-year terms and may be re-elected after being off the Board for one year. The Arizona 4-H Agent’s Association nominates one member annually as a member of the Board.
