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?
