Joining 4-H
2011 Open Enrollment Going on Now
Deadline is Monday, October 17th!
See individual counties for exceptions.
The 4-H Youth Development Program offers many fun and educational activities for its members. When you join a community club, you make new friends, learn about raising animals, get involved in making a difference in your community, be a leader, learn about public speaking and record keeping skills, participate in county fair and 4-H camp, create things for everyone to enjoy, and go on exciting trips!
4-H members choose projects that interest them. A variety of projects are offered including;
- animal care
- arts & crafts
- community service
- leadership, and much more.
You don't have to live on a farm to participate and 4-H projects offer the opportunity for hands-on learning. If you would like information on a particular club or clubs please fill out our Request for Club Information Form.
Club and project meetings occur after school, in the evenings or on the weekends. The number of project meetings depends on the project and the volunteer leading that project. The purpose of these meetings is to guide the members in gaining knowledge, attitudes, skills and habits needed to complete their project successfully. For more in depth information see the 4-H Experience leaflet.
How do you join? Pick a club and some projects. If you are unsure about a club contact your counties 4-H office for club meeting times and locations to help you decide.
