4-H Is...

Learning by doing, and is available to all boys and girls in the 3rd through 12th grades.

First, an adult leader brings together youth that have common interests.

Second, the youth choose one or more projects. Projects are chosen

from among 100 project areas offered, or if you don't see the one you like, you can

create your own project. Third, the group enrolls as a club,

and fourth meets together to learn and have FUN. Clubs are able to explore 4-H

activities events and trips. In 4-H there are events happening all year round.

How do I join?

1. BRING TOGETHER a group of young people with similar interests and an

adult leader to guide the club. Teens are encouraged to become youth leaders.

No previous experience is necessary, just the desire to have fun and learn

together as a club.

2. CHOOSE A PROJECT of interest to your group. There are over 100 projects to

choose from, or create your own. Contact the County Extension Office if you need

project ideas. Decide on a name for your club. Choose a day and time to meet that fits

the needs of the group.

3. ENROLL A GROUP at your County Extension Office by completing an enrollment

sheet, paying dues, and picking up club project materials.

4. MEET & LEARN together to complete selected projects. Enter members' finished

projects in the County Fair. Learning will be enhanced by including community service

projects. Explore other 4-H events, activities and trips.
