Some groups do collect dues or fees for special events and activities, but that decision is left up to each group. In 4-H, members work on various projects. Materials for most projects are provided by the 4-H club members, their families, or their group. Sometimes workshops or events require a fee to cover expenses. Our business is Youth Development.
Clubs hold meetings on a regular basis, elect officers, complete and submit enrollment forms.
Each member completes at least one project a year, and projects, programs, and special activities are based on the interests of members. Community Clubs are usually small groups with five to 15 members in grades 3-12. One to three volunteers are involved. Cloverbud Clubs are small groups with five to eight members in grades K-3 from the same area. They usually meet bi-weekly.
