4-H is fun for children ages 5-18.

Children of all racial, cultural, economic, and social backgrounds are welcome to participate in 4-H educational programs. 4-H is open to farm kids AND city kids – you do not have to live on a farm to enjoy 4-H opportunities! Best of all, it is FREE!

Youth also develop lifelong friendships and long-term relationships with caring adults. Most clubs meet 1-2 times per month, year round. Clubs set their own meeting times and locations.
