Some live on farms and some in suburban neighborhoods and in cities. 4-H provides opportunities to work and play with friends, to learn about and do interesting things and develop leadership skills. The 4-H method is learn by doing. Members learn by completing 4-H projects. A project is an area of interest or topic that the 4-H'er wants to learn about.
Clubs participate in community service projects and other special activities for members.
All 4-H activities are designed for learning by doing, but they are also designed to be fun. Clubs meet at schools, homes, conference rooms or churches. Most of them meet in the evening, usually there is one club meeting and one project meeting or activity each month. If you don't live near a club, you can think about starting one with friends who would like to join and adults who would help you. What counts is not the size but rather what the club does.
