4-H News

Are you interested in giving your children every opportunity to grow and develop?

We believe that belonging to a 4-H club will help youth acquire essential life skills through planned "learn by doing" experiences and that it will promote and develop leadership and civic mindedness in young people.

4-H is community-based and family-oriented. Therefore, we believe 4-H clubs will help build a better community.

4-H is one of the educational programs of the Cooperative Extension Service, University of Arkansas, and is open to all youth between the ages of 5 and 19.

The regular 4-H program is for youth ages 9-19 years old, and the Cloverbuds program is open to youth ages 5-8 years old.

If you would like to become a member of 4-H or Cloverbuds or would like more information about 4-H in your community, contact one of the adult leaders listed below to find out about the next meeting nearest you.
