It doesn’t matter if you live in the country, the city or anywhere in-between!  You can learn to shoot archery, discover the science behind bread baking, plant and harvest foods, train a dog, take photos, raise a rabbit, engineer robots, become a youth leader and so much more!

4-H is open to anyone age 5 and less than 19 years of age at the beginning of the 4-H year. October 1 through September 30. More kids belong to 4-H than to any other youth group!  In fact, it’s the biggest youth group in the nation with almost 7 MILLION members!
