4-H News

Clark County Extension Service

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. The regular 4-H program is for youth ages 9-19 years old, and there is a special 4-H Cloverbud's program for youth ages 5-8 years old.

If you would like to become a member of 4-H or be a Cloverbud, contact one of the adult club leaders below to find out where the next meeting nearest you will be held:
