<\/a>Independent Member Clubs!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This fall county offices are piloting a new club specifically for independent 4-H members. This is a space for youth to come together and build relationships with their peers. We will share interests, projects, goals, and plans for the year and then reflect on our learning throughout and at the end of the year. This is also a great place to start if you are a new or recently enrolled independent member. We will meet 3 times throughout the year as a group with county staff. This will be a space for youth to foster friendships with peers and possibly come together to work on projects of similar interests. We are even hoping to get the group to brainstorm common interests and work together on a community service project!
\nRegister here<\/a>! Meetings can be attended either in person or virtually and will be open to all ages. Dates based on county\/region.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a>2022\/2023 4-H Volunteer Training Opportunities<\/strong><\/h3>\n
