What is 4-H?
It’s 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 are able to explore 4-H activities, events and trips. In 4-H, there are events happening all year round.
Who is 4-H for?
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, intermediates; grades 9-12, seniors.
What is a 4-H Club?
These are the traditional clubs that have been, and will continue to be, the basic unit and foundation of the http://www.join4h.com 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 six 4-H clubs, five are community clubs and one is the shooting sports project club.
Our community clubs are Cameron, Gause, Milano, Rockdale, Thorndale.
