ABOUT THE 4-H PROGRAM

In 4-H, you will have the opportunity to:

 

  • Develop initiative and assume responsibility

  • Develop leadership skills and be of service to others

  • Develop the ability to live and work cooperatively with others

  • Acquire knowledge and skills and explore careers

  • Achieve satisfaction from work and accomplishments

  • Choose from alternatives and plan a satisfying life

  • Develop a positive self-image.

4-H Clubs are made up of youth and adults who plan, implement, and evaluate an annual plan of programs, projects, and activities. Youth officers lead the clubs under the guidance of an adult community club leader.

 

The clubs meet monthly and provide a forum for organizing events and project activities for youth members. Parents and adult volunteers lead projects in a wide range of learning-by-doing interest areas, including:

  • Animal Sciences (Small and Large)

  • Arts & Leisure

  • Consumer Sciences

  • Engineering and Technology

  • Personal & Social Development

  • Plant Sciences

  • Resource Sciences

 

4-H clubs are community affairs that bring together youth and adults to play, share, and learn together. Clubs develop projects, activities and events promoting leadership, citizenship, and community service. Local, state and national conferences support teen and adult volunteer development in these areas.

 

Club Membership is for all youth from ages 5 - 19. In 4-H you will meet new people from your community, from other areas of your county, and even from other states. The fees are minimal and cover accident insurance and some management fees.
