Collapse ▲Being a 4-H Club member provides the most well rounded 4-H experience for youth ages 5-18! As a club member youth develop leadership skills, public speaking skills, and social skills as they “learn by doing” by participating in monthly club meetings, community service projects, citizenship activities, club outings and fun activities!

4-H Clubs are organized in communities throughout Henderson County and are led by parent/community volunteers who have been screened and trained by Extension personnel. Since 4-H is a family program, parents and guardians are encouraged to be actively involved.
Joining a 4-H Club is easy and free!
Look at the list of local clubs and see which one fits your schedule, age, and interests. Email Hannah_peeler@ncsu.edu or call the N.C. Cooperative Extension of Henderson County office at (828) 697-4891, Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m. –5 p.m. for more information and details about the 4-H Programs and Clubs.
When you decide upon the club you would like to join, you will complete an 4-H Online profile, and that’s all there is to it – you’re a 4-H member now! Parents or guardians, be sure to attend a New Member Orientation to learn about all that 4-H offers.
