NC 4-H Curricula

North Carolina 4-H offers a wide array of print materials in addition to our online offerings. Indeed, many of our online materials are also available in hard copy.

Like our online units, our print materials provide the end user with 6 or more sequenced lessons focused on a specific content area. Our print materials undergo the same rigorous development process as our online offerings, and all NC 4-H curricula are aligned to the NC and National K-12 educational standards. Many titles have been awarded “Nationally Recommended” status from National 4-H.

Whether online or in print, NC 4-H curriculum is always available to you when you partner with your local NC 4-H agent. If you would like your own hard copy, or live outside of North Carolina, select NC 4-H titles are available for purchase through UNC Press. Your purchase helps ensure that our curricula will stay current with state and national educational standards and allows us to provide materials to North Carolina 4-H agents, youth, and volunteers.

Note: Purchased print materials include access to the supporting digital content.
