4-H is an informal, practical educational program for youth. Clubs are the foundation of the 4-H program. 4-H has no membership registration fee. Uniforms are not required. A 4-H club is a group of five or more youngsters guided by one or more adult volunteer leaders. A club can be any size - from a small group of kids from one neighborhood to a larger club consisting of youth from all over the county. A 4-H Club usually concentrates on one or more projects such as gardening, woodworking, small animals, food and nutrition, karate, photography, etc. 4-H members build leadership by electing officers and conducting their own business meetings; work together on community service activities; meet new friends; and most important, have lots of fun.
