Aiken County 4-H Clubs
In Aiken County, we’re known for horses, history, and a whole lot of Southern charm—but we’re also home to curious, creative, and hardworking 4-H’ers! From exploring agriculture and STEM to developing leadership and life skills, our 4-H programs give youth the chance to learn by doing in a fun, hands-on way.
Whether they’re caring for animals, experimenting with science, growing a garden, or giving a great speech, Aiken County 4-H helps young people discover their passions and build skills for the future. Come grow with us!
If you are interested in starting an Aiken County 4-H Club, or volunteering for one, please contact us! Clubs can set their own meeting place and time, and focus on any subject related to one of our five program areas.
