4-H Clubs Near You
Club Program
A 4-H club is an organized group of at least five youth from three different families, with two 4-H appointed adult volunteers. Members and leaders meet regularly and have a planned program that is carried out through all or most of the year. The purpose of a 4-H club is to provide positive youth development opportunities that enable youth to reach their full potential as competent, confident, leaders of character who contribute and are connected to their communities.
4-H clubs typically meet in the evenings or on weekends and offer self-chosen multiple learning experiences and activities. Youth Officers run the meetings, using parliamentary procedure.
All 4-H clubs must be chartered, which includes having an approved constitution and bylaws. The 4-H charter allows clubs to use the 4-H name and emblem, raise funds in the name of 4-H, and carry out the 4-H educational program.
Individual youth and adult volunteers must complete the required 4-H enrollment process and pay the annual 4-H program fee before participating in 4-H activities. Enrollment is active for 1 program year. The enrollment fee includes accident and sickness insurance coverage while participating in 4-H activities.
