4-H is for youth ages 5 to 19. Studies show that 4-Hers say they are better decision makers, problem solvers, public speakers, and team members because of life skills developed in 4-H. They also credit 4-H with helping them develop their leadership skills

and a commitment to their community. 4-H community clubs are led by adult volunteers who help youth run their own club meetings, develop club activities and service projects, and explore a variety of projects. 4-H helps young people see themselves

as unique, resilient, life-long learners who actively participate in their own future!

Community club members are 5 to 19 years old. Clubs are spread throughout the county, so you can find one to join

near you. Club members work on projects, complete community service

activities, and plan group activities.

If you want to expand your 4-H experience, there are lots of

opportunities for overnight camps and conferences where we focus on building

leadership skills, learning new things, making friends, and having fun!

Members must complete at least one project per year. There are more than 50 projects to chose from including archery,

dog obedience, cake decorating, cats, photography, veterinary science, foods, clothing design, rocketry, chickens, etc.
