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 Kane County, we offer more than 15 community clubs and 80 projects for youth to choose from. Ready to learn more? Call our office at 630-584-6166 or fill out our 4-H interest form.
