4-H programs are grounded in the belief that kids learn best by doing. Kids and teens complete hands-on projects in areas like science, health, agriculture and civic engagement, in a positive environment where they receive guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles. Kids can concentrate on one focus area or they can try a variety of programs throughout their 4-H experience.
The 4-H program is a great way to involve all the family because 4-H is for all youth and adults. 4-H is available to all boys and girls in kindergarten through 12th grades, from urban, suburban and rural areas. The 4-H membership includes: grades K-2: Cloverbuds (limited activities), grades 3-5: Juniors, grades 6-8: Intermediates and grades 9-12: Senior 4-H
Clubs can explore 4-H activities, events, and trips. These are the traditional clubs that have been, and will continue to be, the basic unit and foundation of the 4-H program. Clubs may be organized on a project basis or on a community basis. In a project club, all members of about the same age work on the same project area together. A community club includes a larger number of members of various ages who work on a variety of projects in a neighborhood or community. Milam County has 6 4-H clubs and 5 are community clubs and 1 is the shooting sports project club. Our community clubs are Cameron, Gause, Milano, Rockdale, Thorndale.
