4-H Emblem
The 4-H education allows opportunities to learn cooking, shooting sports, show horses, raising livestock and so much more. 4-H members choose a project and spend time actively learning about their topic. 4-H parents are invaluable in support and encouragement. 4-H leaders help guide and find resources for members.

Along with the help of volunteer leaders, parents and other individuals, 4-H members are able to involve themselves in educational experiences in both family and community settings. Additional benefits to project work are the opportunity to exhibit completed project work at the County Fair, attending State Fair, 4-H parties, camps, picnics, meeting people, making new friends, and earning scholarships.
