Clubs can be organized in any safe location during non-school hours. Clubs do not meet in schools during school hours. All clubs are open to all youth regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, or disability. We publicize the organization of our clubs through the newspaper, personal contact, and letters. Chartering One of the important components of the club process is Chartering.
Charters stay with the club as long as it is in existence.
All clubs are expected to operate within the framework of the 4-H program. The charter does not have to be renewed when leaders change or minor revisions are made in the club structure. A written program of work has been done and has been submitted to the county Cooperative Extension office. A club is organized with appropriate youth leadership. To receive a charter, a club should submit to the local 4-H agent completed a Charter Request Form which includes enrollment cards, name of the club, regular meeting time and location, club calendar, and a list of officers if appropriate.
