Perry County 4-H
Clubs

Purpose

The 4-H Club is one of the major methods of involving youth in the 4-H program. The club setting serves as the hub of activity, which generates enthusiasm for participation in 4-H activities outside of the local club. Boys and girls who join a 4-H club do not have to pay a membership fee and a uniform is not required!

The 4-H Club meeting is an important learning experience. Participation in planning and carrying out the club’s program will help the members:

Learn to make decisions
Develop skills in group discussions
Try new ideas and methods
Develop citizenship and leadership skills
Acquire new knowledge and skills
Develop self-confidence
Develop self-esteem
Gain a sense of group pride (team work)
Form a cooperative attitude
Refer to 4-H fact sheet 4HCC5 - "Life Skills Through 4-H"
