4H is a youth development program of Penn State Cooperative
Extension. As a 4-H member, your child will participate in a variety of learning experiences. 4-Her's
"learn by doing" through involvement in projects. 4-H members make new friends and learn to work and play with other
young people and adults.
4H offers programs for boys and girls from
age 5 to 18.
Cloverbuds:
Kids ages 5 to 7 can
participate in the 4H Cloverbud program.
Cloverbuds learn about and explore: their community, the world around
them, science, health, and art in a group setting. Cloverbud projects are not competitive. Cloverbuds may participate in monthly
4H club meetings.
Regular 4H Members:
Kids ages 8 to 18 can participate in 4H. 4H
members get to participate in club group activities such as:
field trips to local amusement parks, sporting events,
and businesses. Kids will also get to make new friends, participate in projects, and have club parties. Monthly club meetings
are held where kids can decide on activities and fundraisers their club will have. The kids run the meeting using parliamentary
procedure under the guidance of adult volunteer leaders.
Each member is required to complete one project per year
to be in good standing in 4H, although most kids complete several projects each year. Projects are displayed at the York
County 4H Fair in August and judged. Projects with high honors at the York County 4H Fair are permitted to be entered
in the York Interstate Fair and the Pennsylvania State Farm Show.
