Why join 4-H?
The 4-H program teaches leadership, citizenship, and life skills in an informal, volunteer-led, hands-on, fun learning environment. 4-H projects are research-based and reviewed by specialists at Penn State University. The goal of 4-H is to help young people become self-directed, productive, and contributing members of a diverse society. Visit the Pennsylvania 4-H Program website for more information about 4-H in PA!
Who can join?
Anyone aged 8 to 18 by January 1 of the current year, living anywhere in Pennsylvania, can join the program. In addition, youth aged 5-7 may enroll in the introductory "Cloverbud" program using age-appropriate learning activities.
How much does it cost?
A $20.00 educational materials fee is charged for books, and the horse program has an additional yearly fee of $25.00. However, many clubs offer optional state-approved fundraising activities to help offset these costs.
Who helps your child?
4-H Club Leaders are adult volunteers who have been carefully screened and interviewed by the 4-H & Youth Extension Educator. Please visit the Beaver County 4-H Volunteer Enrollment page for more information.
