my HANDS to larger service, and
my HEALTH to better living,
for my club, my community, my country and my world.
4-H is for YOU!
Do you like learning new and exciting things? Spending time with friends and meeting new people? Working with your hands? Enjoy activities like riding horses, cooking new foods, science, and technology projects, being outside? Then 4-H is for you!
What is 4-H?
4-H is an organization for youth ages 5-18 who enjoy “learning by doing.” The four pillars are STEM, Agriculture, Healthy Living, and Civic Engagement. The possibilities are endless. You choose what you want to learn about in 4-H.
Why Join 4-H?
Do you enjoy the thrill of competition and winning awards? Do you prefer working cooperatively and being recognized for your work? Are you one who would rather work alone? We have it all, and in 4-H we work to build on strengths and interests so don’t worry about making mistakes – we learn by doing! Our motto is “To Make the Best Better.”
4-H offers opportunities for youth and adults to develop self-esteem and experience feelings of success and achievement. There are county, district, state, and national events and awards, including college scholarships!
Where and When to 4-H Clubs Meet?
The time and place, as well as the frequency, varies with each group. You will determine what is best for you. Some clubs meet once a month, while others meet more often during a specific project, such as target sports or livestock. Meetings can be held in places including homes, community buildings, churches, or schools.
Who are the 4-H Leaders?
Volunteers are the heart of 4-H. All volunteers must pass a background check and successfully complete training on working with youth and creating a safe environment. Volunteers receive additional training relevant to the 4-H activities they lead. We welcome those who are interested in volunteering with our clubs to reach out to our office and learn more!
