The 4-H program helps young people develop the life skills needed to become capable, responsible and caring citizens. Through local 4-H clubs, special interest groups, after-school programs, camps and many other activities, 4-H'ers have fun, make lasting friendships, enjoy "hands-*on learning experiences and get involved in their communities.

The 4-H After-School Club is designed to allow youth not in the county school system to participate in 4-H. During club meetings 4-H'ers learn vital life skills such as responsible citizenship, positive self esteem, ethical decision making, building relationships, healthy lifestyle choices, team work, achieving goals, responsibility and leadership. Each month youth also compete in various contests, such as public speaking, poster making, model building, art, t-shirt design and photography. This club is open to any student grades 3-8 regardless of gender, religious preference or race.
