Northampton County Clubs

Northampton County 4-H has many wonderful clubs all led by experienced adult volunteers. There are many different projects areas that members can try! There are three main types of 4-H Clubs: animal, community, and special interest. Northampton County also offers some afterschool clubs at community centers.

Animal Clubs are for youth interested in learning how to care for specific animal species; including: health, nutrition, grooming, safety, and showing. Youth do not need to own or lease animals to join these clubs.

Community Clubs are where members choose their projects each year based on their interests. These projects may include sewing, cooking, gardening, woodworking, leatherwork, crafts, knitting, or engineering. Interested members are encouraged to ask leaders what projects their club will be focusing on each year. Members may choose one or more of the projects offered by the leaders in their club.

Special Interest Clubs focus on learning one project or skill. These clubs focus on this project area and explore topics in great detail as individuals progress through their 4-H careers. These are typically a "countywide" club, meaning there may only be one club in the county that offers a particular project.

Afterschool Clubs are offered to youth through schools, participating organizations, and community centers. They incorporate various 4-H projects into their existing programs.

Project Areas

  • Animal Science
  • Civic Engagement and Leadership
  • Communications and Expressive Arts
  • Environmental Science
  • 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.
