- Traditional volunteer-led clubs can focus on any topic, from raising animals to building robots and everything in between. We also offer SPIN (special interest) clubs that only run for 6-8 sessions as a more short-term option.
- After School
- Our 4-H professional hosts STEM-based afterschool programs at sites throughout the community. During the summer, we will seek volunteers and teen mentors to help facilitate these programs.
- Camp and Learning Centers
- Attending a summer camp is a great way to get involved with 4-H. They’ll teach you teamwork, leadership, outdoorsmanship, and more!
