Enrollment

You are invited to join a 4-H club or to enroll as a home study member. Club members participate in one or two club meetings each month and in county 4-H activities. Home study members do not participate in club meetings, but do participate in county activities. To join a club, just contact the leader of the club you are interested in.

• 4-H Clubs

  Your 4-H club is a group of young people with adult leaders who want to get together to have fun and to learn. Clubs conduct themselves under the guidelines of the Florida 4-H Program. Generally, members meet once a month. They also participate in activities with other clubs from around the county and the state.

  Please contact our 4-H Program Assistant, Fauna Mitchell, for a full Club list - she may be reached at mitchellfauna@ufl.edu.

• Projects

  One of the main ways that 4-Hers have fun learning is by doing a “project” using a project book from the 4-H office. After learning about the project and doing some activities, the 4-Her can give a “demonstration” to tell his or her club members and other about what he or she has learned. A club or home study member can make a display about a project. Sometimes project activities are also done in your club, and at other times at county-wide workshops or classes.

• Community Service

  Each club is urged to participate in at least one community service activity each year. Community service is important in the 4-H program. It gives club members a chance to contribute something to our community. Through community service projects, you will learn about citizenship and what being a citizen really means.
