4-H Youth Development Program
Welcome to Asotin County 4-H!
4-H is the youth development education program of Washington State University Extension, which is conducted jointly by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, your state land grant university (WSU) and Asotin County. Today 4-H is everywhere–in cities, suburbs, small towns, and rural communities. In the 21st century, 4-H serves a broad clientele with expanded program using a variety of ways to “learn by doing.”
Why join 4-H?
4-H provides a safe place for members to grow in knowledge and gain understanding of their projects. Along with this comes self-confidence. Members meet new people and are given opportunities for leadership experiences.
The cost for 4-H enrollment is:
Youth, (ages 8-18) are $35.00 ($25 State fee; $10 county fee).
Cloverbuds, (ages 5-7) are $25.
Scholarships are available for youth 8 years or older who need assistance with the

How do I get started?
Choose one project. Pick a 4-H club with that project, then contact the 4-H leader to determine if they have an opening available.
Choose a Project
There are many projects to choose from in 4-H. Each club has leaders that help the youth with certain project areas.
We do not have leaders available for all the projects 4-H has to offer. If you, or someone you know is interested in becoming a 4-H leader, please contact the Asotin County 4-H office.
Choose a 4-H Club
Asotin County 4-H has clubs located in Clarkston, Asotin and Anatone. Each club offers certain projects. See what 4-H Clubs you may be interested in joining. If there are any openings, please contact the leader of that 4-H Club before enrolling.
Enrolling in 4-H
Once you have chosen your projects and have gotten approval from the club leader, you will enroll using the 4-H Online system. Go to the Join 4-H page for instructions.
