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.
