This year has been challenging for 4-H with the COVID-19 situation.

We will be working with club managers to publicize 4-H meetings this year on 4-H Blasts, 4-H Facebook and on the website.

We do not know the meeting dates as of now or if they will be face to face or virtual.

We will again post those on the places above when we receive that information. No matter what, 4-H will be keep going and will be as awesome as before.

The 4-H program is such a fun and exciting organization for children to do and we try to provide plenty of opportunities for them to pick from.

Let your youth experience what 4-H can offer them. It will worth your time and effort.

4-H is learning by doing and is available to all boys and girls in the kindergarten through 12th grades, from urban, suburban and rural areas.

First, an adult leader brings together youth that have common interests. Second, the youth choose one or more projects. Projects are chosen from among 100 project areas offered.

Third, the group enrolls as a club, and fourth meets together to learn and have fun. Clubs can explore 4-H activities, events, and trips. In 4-H, there are events happening all year round.

The 4-H program is a great way to involve all the family because 4-H is for all youth and adults.

The 4-H membership includes: Grades K-2, Clover Kids (limited activities); grades 3-5, juniors; grades 6-8, intermediate; grades 9-12, seniors.

The new 4-H year starts Sept. 1. All 4-H members, Clover Kids, and adult volunteers who enrolled last year will need to re-enroll for the 2020-2021 year.

To enroll, please visit our website: www.join4h.com.

Adults are $10 to join (will include screening), members will pay a $25 participation fee per member, and Clover Kids (age 5-8) will be free.

After you have enrolled, the next step is to go to your club meetings each month and read the weekly 4-H newsletters.

This will provide you with all the opportunities that are available in 4-H.

You can pick and choose what activities and projects to be a part of.

The 4-H program gives you the freedom to choose what you want to do.

The 4-H program is such a fun and exciting organization for children to do and we try to provide plenty of opportunities for you to pick from.
