This mission is carried out through nonformal education involving parents, volunteer leaders, and other adults who organize and conduct educational experiences in community and family settings. They usually gather for a special purpose, such as learning about a specific subject, presenting a demonstration or taking part in a field trip.
Groups meet weekly, monthly, or on a schedule agreed upon by members, parents, and leaders.
The size of the groups vary greatly , depending upon the volunteer adult. Groups range from 3 to 40 youth. In Clark County there are more than 1550 youth in nearly 168 clubs with over 450 leaders. Some projects lack adult leadership. To find out more, call one of our 4-H staff members.
