STEPS TO JOINING 4-H

• LEADER ENROLLMENT FORM
• FAMILY HANDBOOK
  
  
4. Select the project(s) that you are interested in for the year.
   
   
   • K-5 to 2nd Grade – Cloverbud, no other program.
   • Grades 3 through 13th can select any other projects. It is suggestion for 3rd and 4th grades youth to take the project called Exploring.
   • Suggestion is to select one to two projects. More can be selected if youth and parents feel they can handle it.
