4-H Youth Development
Join 4-H
4-H is for a young person who wants to go places... do interesting things...
learn new skills... make new friends... have fun.
- Projects galore - great for the whole family or even the community.
- Fun doing recreational-type things such as arts and crafts, fishing, and
rock climbing.
- Activities such as taking part in bait casting, forestry camp, and
photography contests.
- Awards - receiving everything from ribbons to scholarships.
- Winners in local events are selected to go to district and state events,
working toward trips to exciting places like Washington, D.C.
Who Can Belong to 4-H?
In St. Francis County, there are three age levels in which youth may
participate in the 4-H program. They are:
- Cloverbuds - 5-8
- Junior - 9-13
- Senior - 14-19
What Is a 4-H Club?
4-H clubs are organized, community-based or project-based clubs. Clubs are
continuing groups with elected officers, volunteer leaders, and planned programs
for nine to twelve months of the year.
4-H members may enroll in several different projects or in one project area.
Boys and girls who join a 4-H club do not have to pay a membership fee, and they
are not required to wear a uniform.
Clubs may be organized on a county-wide, school, or community level. School
clubs meet during school hours. Clubs that meet on school grounds before or
after school hours are considered community clubs.
