Abstract: In 1973 the Cooperative Extension Service of Michigan State University initiated an effort to expand 4-H club programs to youth and families located in communities of Wayne County with challenging social problems and high juvenile crime rates. A study three years later clearly identified this effort as highly successful. A concept of establishing an inner city 4-H office in conjunction with an activity center (4-H COMMUNITY CENTER) proved to be very effective in reaching-clientele in the inner city. Four years later the "URBAN GARDENING" program was initiated in Wayne County (Detroit) as a direct component of the 4-H program effort. At this time two-thirds of the annual 4-H participants in Wayne County come from the inner city of Detroit. Workshops and seminars will include video tapes, etc. on programs.
