A club serves as a “home base” and typically meet monthly. Each of our clubs have their own culture and interests. Youth can be involved in multiple clubs and try out as many clubs as they like. We recommend each family "find their fit" by visiting multiple clubs. You can change your club in 4-H Online as much as you'd like or be a member of multiple clubs. 

Club leaders are responsible for scheduling and running meetings. A meeting consists of roughly 50% education, 25% business, and 25% recreation. Clubs often engage in their own community service events or field trips. 

Our current clubs are listed below. A few of these clubs have limited members due to project specialty so please contact the club leader individually to learn more or visit.

Don't see a perfect fit for your family? No worries! You can always choose to be an Independent member (no club needed) or consider starting a club!
