4-H clubs offer a world of opportunities for boys and girls to learn new things, go new places, meet new people.

A club is an organized group of five or more young people. The members elect their own officers and operate as a democracy in action.4-H club members learn new skills, work on educational projects, have fun together, conduct business meetings, and are involved in community service projects.

Who May Join?

Any boy or girl, 5 to 19 years old, willing to follow the 4-H ideals and standards may join. Anyone at least 5 years old as of January 1 st, may join a 4-H .

Learning experiences built into every 4-H project are the tools used to help shape the 4-H youth.

Who Are the 4-H Leaders?

Adults interested in the youth of their community and willing to share their time and talents with young people become 4-H Leaders.4-H leaders are often parents of club members. Find your potential, meet awesome kids, and accomplish things you never thought possible.

What Are The Aims of 4-H?

4-H helps youth grow into:
