Types of 4-H Clubs

  • Community Clubs:  This is the traditional year-round club you most likely think of when you think of 4-H. Community Clubs are the tried and true 4-H activity. They have a main, overarching theme and meet (on average) once a month. Club themes can be anything from agriculture, leadership, community service, STEM, etc.
  • SPIN Clubs:  SPIN stands for SPecial INterest. SPIN clubs are geared towards a specific topic or special interest. Unlike a community club, these clubs meet on average once/twice a week for 4-6 week instead of a full year. Topics can include: baking, robotics, performing arts, sewing, gardening and much much more. If you’re interested in leading a STEM club as an adult volunteer curriculum materials can be provided!
  • School Clubs:  All the perks of a 4-H club, but during the school day! If you’ve got club time built into your school day this would be a great opportunity for a new and different type of club! School clubs do similar activities as a traditional community club and are lead by a teacher, support staff or school volunteer. All students that would be involved in a school 4-H club are eligible to participate in activities and events that any other Haywood County 4-H would as well!

Club Meetings:  When and Where?

Club meetings will vary depending on the club itself. Some clubs will meet once a month, others will meet more frequently, for a short season or a few times a year. Meetings can be held in places like community buildings, churches or schools!

Club Leaders: Who are They?

Club leaders are parents, grandparents, community members, teachers and other caring adults who want to make a difference in the lives of local youth. These volunteers are background checked, trained and registered in 4-H Online. If you’re interested in becoming a Club Leader reach out to your Haywood County 4-H Agent, Leah Jorgensen
