Collapse ▲Welcome to New Hanover County 4-H!
4-H is the youth program of Cooperative Extension for children ages 5-18. 4-H clubs offer long-term involvement and focus on a variety of different topics. Clubs are led by volunteer leaders and meet at different times and locations around the county. There are also school classroom programs, after-school programs, and summer enrichment programs offered through 4-H. 4-H offers quality educational programs and activities at low or no cost because we are a service provided by local and state governments. Many 4-H programs focus on STEM, Healthy Living, and Leadership.
