  • Build skills in decision-making, animal science, and public speaking
  • Discover team opportunities and start planning practices
  • Prepare for contests that can lead to scholarships and future opportunities

Share your skills at Family Learning Day

Family Learning Day is an opportunity for 4-H members (grades 5K-13) to learn a new skill or work on a project on Saturday, February 28, 2026. This event cannot happen without youth and adults volunteering to lead sessions!

Examples of previous sessions vary from woodworking, arts & crafts, basketball basic drills, photography basics, simple recipes, mindfulness, Livestock Skillathon, and so much more!

Registration for youth participants in grades 5K–13 will open in late December/early January. Please share your talents or skills with youth who might have the same interests!
