COMMENTS FROM MICAH

The 4-H Club is learning by doing and is available to all boys and girls 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.
