Some clubs meet in leaders' or members' homes or garages. Some meet in a central place, such as a school, church or community room. This depends on the age of the members, the place they have to meet and the leadership available. The ideal club is big enough to have fun and learn together, but small enough for everyone to feel a part of the group. The recommended number of club members is between 20 to 40.
Some large clubs divide into older and younger members or by project interests.
Some adults teach members to do things. They usually have a special interest or skill, such as photography, clothing or gardening. Other adults help organize a group and run the meetings. Many do both. Sometimes big clubs divide and have several leaders to meet all the interests of the 4-H members.
