Collapse ▲Being a 4-H Club member provides the most well-rounded 4-H experience for youth ages 5-18! As a 4-H 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 events, citizenship projects, 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. To sign up, you must first contact 4-H Agent Hannah Peeler.
You can reach the 4-H agent via email at 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.
After speaking to 4-H Agent Hannah Peeler, you will complete a 4-H Online profile. Parents or guardians, be sure to attend a New Member Orientation to learn about all that 4-H offers.

Start a new 4-H Club! We welcome the opportunity for additional clubs within Henderson County! All you need are at least 5 youth from 3 different families and a caring adult volunteer. 4-H Clubs can cover a wide range of topics such as science, livestock, horses, service projects, robotics, art, etc. or all of the above! Learn more about Volunteering with 4-H and/or Starting a 4-H Club.
Your family can also join 4-H as “Members At Large.” This will provide opportunities to participate in County and District opportunities as they come available.
We will provide training and mentors. Contact Hannah_Peeler@ncsu.edu or call (828) 697-4891 to see about the possibility of organizing a club in your community.
