4-H provides a chance to learn new things, develop new skills, travel to new places, experience new situations, make new friends, and most importantly have lots of fun. Generally, you can join an existing club. If you have 5 intrested young people and an adult or two, you can start your own new club. A club is a group of five or more young people ages 8-18, guided by an adult leader. Clubs meet for at least nine sessions during the year and have a planned program.
Members can elect officers and each member chooses one or more projects.
Each club may explore a single subject or several subjects. A 4-H club may be organized on community or neighborhood basis and use local facilities, such as the public library, or member's homes. Also it can be organized within a school using the school's facilities, time, and staff. Any place large enough and convenient for the club members is a good choice. Most clubs meet once or twice a month for at least nine months a year, depending on what the group wants to do.
