WAYS TO
PARTICIPATE
4‑H is a community for all kids with programs that suit a variety of backgrounds, interests, budgets and schedules. Whether CLOVER, in-school or after-school, in clubs or at camps, 4‑H’s positive youth development programs are available in your local community and welcome children who want to have fun, learn and grow.
Cost & time commitment
Getting involved with 4‑H is easy and costs are kept to a minimum. Unlike other youth organizations, 4‑H doesn’t require a uniform and there are no national fees. Children select their 4‑H education project so they can choose one that works well within a family’s budget.
4‑H programs and clubs typically meet once per week or once per month and are available for kids and teens ages 9-18. 4‑H Cloverbud programs are available for kids ages 5-8.
Your local 4‑H office will help you find the right program for your child and provide you with meeting locations, time commitment and program details.
