About the Clinics

Scientists and veterinarians are conducting research focused on animal welfare, aiming to better understand the needs and experiences of animals. With animal projects central to many 4-H learning experiences, this curriculum educates youth on these important issues, helping them gain a deeper understanding of animal health and well-being.

The curriculum is designed for adult facilitators or project leaders to use experiential learning methods in small group settings to teach vital skills and information.

What You’ll Learn

Participating youth will gain valuable hands-on experience in various aspects of animal care, including:

• Animal health
• Nutrition
• Care and training
• Showmanship

4-H members working with animals will develop a better understanding of how to care for them, what to feed them, and how to train them safely. By practicing best management practices, members can engage in science-based, hands-on education that boosts confidence and strengthens their connection with companion animals.
