4-H is more than Cows and Corn!
When most people think about 4-H, they remember the long standing history 4-H has had with educating youth in Animal and Plant Sciences. Most people don’t realize that 4-H has evolved into a diverse youth development program that offers a wide variety of subjects. In addition to the fun projects currently offered in Chelan/Douglas County 4-H, Washington State 4-H supports over 120 areas of interest. Check them out below!
Not all WSU projects are currently offered in Chelan/Douglas County 4-H…but they could be! If you are interested in a working on a project not yet offered in our area, let’s talk! Sometimes we just need the right person to get it started. Please contact the 4-H Office to see if we can team up.
