Our Clubs

Lehigh County Clubs

4-H clubs meet regularly to provide youth with hands-on activities relevant to their area of interest, peer interactions, and connections with caring adults. Club meetings include activities designed to teach children about nature, animals, art, food, and health in addition to leadership and civic development.  

There is an annual membership fee of $30. Some clubs decide to add additional dues to use for club activities like field trips, picnics, etc. Members enrolling in a horse or horseless project also need to pay an additional $25 Horse Program Fee. Project costs (like your material for a sewing project or your horse for a horse project) are all additional costs.

Project Areas

What is a Project?

A project is a subject matter-based task or series of learning activities that each individual member is involved in to "learn by doing." A record book is provided for each of the over 150 different projects from which a member may choose. These records are maintained by the member. There are all kinds of projects, from building a picture frame and raising livestock to learning how to be a leader. Project areas include:

• Animal Science
• Civic Engagement and Leadership
• Communications and Expressive Arts
• Environmental Science and Shooting Sports
• Healthy Living and Wellness
• STEM

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.
