Active 4-H Clubs |
|
Being in a 4-H club provides important opportunities for youth to learn subject matter and life skills while working with a caring adult and other youth. Once youth are 4-H members, they become eligible for a variety of benefits of belonging to 4-H, including awards, trips, special events, etc. Of course, it's meant to be fun for the kids and the leaders too!
Here is some information about the 4-H clubs currently active in the county. If there isn’t one to meet your needs, a new one can be started. Most 4-H clubs are led by volunteers, which may include staff in after school sites, military installations, etc. Starting a 4-H club isn't difficult and you are encouraged to seek help from parents or other volunteers. Local Extension/4-H staff can help you get started.
