Kingsbury County 4-H enables youth to be engaged in the following:

• Partnerships with caring adults
• Positive learning environments
• Developing their fullest potential
• Learning life skills

 Throughout the SDSU Extension 4-H Youth Development program, we value:

• Youth, families, and communities;
• Partnerships and coalitions that work for the betterment of youth in our state, and combined strength of local programming in cooperation with the land-grant university, South Dakota State University;
• Every child’s individuality and uniqueness;
• Diversity and an inclusive environment that assures all youth access to programming;
• Caring adults who volunteer to work with, mentor, and teach youth;
• The Six Pillars of Character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship.
