Learn by Doing!
What is 4-H?
4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills. We offer opportunities for youths to find new interests, try new things, and learn by doing. 4-H is the nation’s largest positive youth development and mentoring organization.
4-H is an informal program where young people develop confidence, social skills, decision-making abilities, and subject matter knowledge. It begins at the club level when members, parents, and leaders meet monthly to have fun, learn, and perform community service
Who Can Join 4-H?
4-H is open to all youths in grades 5K through one year past high school. No farm? No problem! While 4-H has its roots in agriculture and still offers agricultural projects, it now offers opportunities in many other subjects like archery, photography, foods, sewing, art, dog training, fishing and more!
Those in grades 5K-2nd grade are known as Cloverbuds. Cloverbuds learn about 4-H, how to socialize and have fun with others while still participating in their monthly club meetings and all of the activities the clubs offer.
Youths in 3rd grade through one year past high school will first join a club. Then, they’ll have the opportunity to join projects in order to gain knowledge and skills while experiencing hands-on learning.
Why Join 4-H?
Besides learning and serving the community, 4-H Members can:
- Participate in state and national opportunities such as camps, travel, fairs, and competitions
- Make decisions and solve problems
- Build self-confidence, independence, and responsibility
- Feel a sense of belonging by being part of a 4-H club
