CLUB PROJECTS

4-H projects are structured, hands-on learning experiences that allow youth to explore specific areas of interest while developing valuable life skills like responsibility, problem-solving, and communication. Each project is typically guided by adult volunteers and/or teen leaders and can range in complexity depending on the age and experience of the participant. Each project host their own meetings outside of the general club meeting. Our club is exploring new project opportunities. Interested in volunteering to lead a project? Contact us!

Projects are only open to club members, adult volunteers, and invited guests. Project meeting dates can be found on the club calendar.
