Join 4-H - The Revolution of Responsibility

We equip youth with skills for the future while meeting them where they are today. Through 4-H, we offer opportunities and experiences that shape youth into their full, authentic selves, enabling them to shine both now and in the future.

All boys and girls in grades Kindergarten through 13 (one year past high school) can join 4-H regardless of race, color, creed, religion, sex, national origin, disability, ancestry, sexual orientation, pregnancy, marital or parental status. You can live in the city, town, or country, and you may join any club, virtually anywhere.

Why Join 4-H

You will have fun, be challenged, learn new things, meet others, and be an active member of your community. Everything you do in 4-H is focused on helping you gain leadership, citizenship, and life skills. All you have to do is join a local club, enroll in a 4-H project, and take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way!

Choose a
Project

A 4-H project is an educational opportunity for youth to explore and express their individual interests. 4-H members commit to one or more projects annually, and work individually or with a project leader to gain new knowledge and increase their skill level. With nearly 100 projects to choose from – from Visual Arts to Outdoor Recreation, Animals to LEGO, Foods & Nutrition to Shooting Sports – there is something for everyone!
