4-H in DuPage County

4-H is a community where youth learn by doing hands-on activities that teach skills for now and in the future.

In 4-H, you can make friends, have fun, give back, and try new things with the help of caring adults. Whatever your interests or goals, there’s a 4-H experience for you. Attend a workshop to learn something new. Join a local 4-H club to find a place you belong. Plan service projects to support your community. Build leadership skills to help you succeed in life. Sign up for projects to explore your interests. You make 4-H what you want it to be.

In DuPage County, we offer more than a dozen community clubs and 80 projects for youth to choose from. Ready to learn more? Call our office at 630-955-1123 or fill out our 4-H interest form.
