York County Clubs
York County 4-H inspires youth through club meetings, camps, county-wide events, and more. Our county program embraces our mission to help youth make their "best better" and provides opportunities for them to learn and grow in new skills. Our 4-H members serve as club officers, teen leaders, camp counselors, and give back to the community. Many former members continue to give back to the program, upholding a welcoming environment and enhancing opportunities for 4-H youth to grow into capable, responsible adults.

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.
Clubs
As the name suggests, our 4-H community clubs meet out in the communities of York County. These clubs complete a variety of different 4-H projects each year based off the interests of their members.
