Health Rocks 4-H remains a leader in health-related education in an effort to promote the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of our youth. The National 4-H Healthy Living Mandate focuses on many health-related educational issues, including: mental and emotional health, foods and nutrition, physical health and safety. Louisiana 4-H offers a variety of programs to promote healthy living among children of all ages.

Healthy Living programming includes:


Health Rocks
Health Rocks!
Every 4-H'er knows about pledging their “health to better living” which involves more than just physical health but strengthening the inner self as well. As health has become a more prevalent issue in recent years, 4-H created the “Health Rocks!’ curriculum for 8-to-12 year olds in an effort to reduce youth tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drug usage.
