Our Clubs

Mercer County Clubs

Mercer County 4-H offers a unique program to educate the youth of the surrounding area. We have a 4-H park in Mercer County where all youth can meet and show their projects. Every year we have a 4-H roundup at the Mercer County 4-H Park where all the youth and families get together to showcase their projects and to learn and meet members from across the county. We provide the best hands-on experience in the county with agricultural education.

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 a 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.
