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 8-18. 4‑H Cloverbud programs are available for kids ages 5-7.
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.
