Join the Club
Raising great kids is a challenging task, but it's easier when you have a team of people behind you. 4-H Clubs are groups of families that do just that. Through working together, families share knowledge and interests to help kids learn practical skills and important values. 4-H is the network of families that grows great kids.
Age For Membership
4-H membership is open to all boys and girls who are 7 years of age and have not passed their 19th birthday by January 1 of the current year.
Youth ages 5 and 6 can join as Cloverbuds. This link provides great Cloverbud information but you still need to enroll online (no paper enrollment accepted).
When to Join
The 4-H program year runs from October - September, however youth can join any time during the year. Most 4-H'ers start in the fall to keep up on project lessons, activities, and make themselves eligible for 4-H awards and activities that have deadline dates.
What does it cost to join 4-H?
Beginning with the 2017-2018 4-H year, Kansas 4-H Youth Development asked families to invest in the present and future of the program. With a $15 annual program-enrollment fee, each child will have access to a wide array of development opportunities at the local, regional, and state levels. These structured, hands-on, relevant educational programs will continue the tradition and history of Kansas 4-H in building skills, confidence, and experiences that 4-H youth will carry with them for the rest of their lives. For 4-Hers enrolled in the Cloverbud project, there is no fee.
Where are the 4-H Clubs in Leavenworth County?
Leavenworth County has a number of community clubs and project clubs that meet at different times and places. We suggest you visit several clubs and find the one that best fits your family's schedule and interests.
