What is the benefit of being in a 4-H club …
There are many benefits of being in a club; friendship and fellowship, opportunity for leadership development, plus strides in self-confidence, learning to work with others, communication skills, decision making, problem solving, citizenship, expanded horizons, organizational skills, respect for and from others, patience, tolerance, and real-world experience!
The club leader will help you with decision making, keep you informed about project announcements and deadlines, and will be a great encouragement!
For help finding a club, please contact Erin! Information for each 4-H Club is included in each monthly Chatter.
A 4-H project is an area that you want to learn more about during the year. There are projects on just about any topic you would like to study and explore, from art to woodworking, from computers to rabbits, from foods to range management. Projects are grouped in to six different project areas: Animal Science, Healthy Living, Leadership & Civic Engagement, Science & Technology, Natural Resources and Expressive Arts.
By choosing a project in ZSuite Erin is able to provide project specific information to you including learning opportunities, deadlines and much more. The sooner you pick your projects, the sooner we can start sending you specific information.
The Chatter can be found:
- in your inbox
- on Facebook
- on Remind
- on the website
The Chatter is generally sent out the first business day of each month
Contains all the information I have for all 4-H members and volunteers at the beginning of each month.
The day to day updates, newest news, etc. will be posted to Facebook

4-H is all about having fun while making friends, learning new skills and developing as a person and leader!
4‑H empowers young people to be true leaders. True leaders are young people who have confidence, know how to work well with others, can endure challenges, and will stick with a job until it gets done. In 4‑H, we believe true leaders aren’t born – they’re grown. The 4‑H program’s hands-on approach gives young people guidance, tools and encouragement, and then puts them in the driver’s seat to make great things happen. Independent research proves the unparalleled impact of the 4‑H experience.
