4‑H Clubs
A 4‑H Club is a group of kids and teens who get together to learn cool stuff, try new activities, and have fun—guided by awesome trained volunteer leaders who are there to support you. Clubs meet throughout the year, and each one decides how often they want to get together. Some meet a few times for club business, while others meet more often to work on projects or go on field trips.
Every 4‑H member completes at least one project each year. Projects are hands‑on activities that help you learn real skills—like making smoothies, planting a garden, caring for animals, building STEM projects, practicing leadership, and tons more.
Every club also takes on one community service project, so you can make a difference right where you live.
If your local club has closed or there isn’t one that fits your interests or age group, Washington County 4‑H offers individual membership so you can still be part of the 4‑H experience.
When you join 4‑H, you can also take part in special opportunities like:
