4-H and MetLife Foundation have partnered for more than 10 years to provide meaningful opportunities for youth across America.  Through Youth in Action grants, MetLife Foundation has invested in the power of 4-Hers to create change and contribute to their local communities. In each case, young people recognized a problem or issue in their community, leveraged high-quality 4-H materials and resources, and implemented their action plan for change in partnership with a caring adult mentor.  

In 2007, MetLife Foundation will expand its support of 4-H by infusing the principles of civic engagement into the after-school setting.  By training after-school providers and creating extraordinary opportunities for young people to engage in their communities, MetLife Foundation and 4-H will collaboratively improve the quality of after-school programs; infuse civic engagement into after-school programs; and increase the number of youth engaged in high quality after-school programs.

MetLife Foundation was established in 1976 by MetLife to carry on its longstanding tradition of corporate contributions and community involvement.  Grants support health, education, civic and cultural programs.
