Our Clubs

Chester County Clubs

The 4-H program based in Chester County offers a broad variety of interest areas with hands-on projects including companion animals, dairy, equine, food and nutrition, livestock, robotics – to name a few.  

Additionally, the Pennsylvania 4-H program offers more than 100 4-H projects that can be made available through the local Penn State Extension Office. If there is a project not currently offered through an active club, youth can complete an independent study with their family, or even start a new club with the assistance of a parent or other interested adult.

Community clubs draw youth living nearby. Members choose the projects they work on. Members of a community club participate in monthly club meetings as well as meeting with their project leaders to work on various projects.

Project clubs meet once a month on a yearly schedule. Their focus is a single project.

4-H projects may be offered at your school through 4-H school enrichment or afterschool in partnership with our collaborating programs.

Start a new club

4-H is all about exploration! If you do not see a project or a club that looks like the right fit, you can start a new club.

4-H Clubs require:

• At least 5 youth (from at least two families)
• An adult club leader as point of contact with the 4-H Educator
• A minimum of 2 screened adult volunteers
• Hold regular educational meetings

Contact your county 4-H educator to discuss the process of developing a new club.
