Did you know that Illinois 4-H is the largest out-of-school youth organization in the state?
In 4-H, kids have the freedom to explore topics and projects that interest them, all while being guided by caring adult mentors. Through hands-on activities, 4-H fosters a “learn by doing” philosophy, teaching essential skills in problem-solving, communication, leadership, and teamwork.
And, 4-H clubs actively contribute to making their communities better places to live through various community service projects.
There are many 4-H clubs located in our three counties. Clubs focused on a special interest are known as SPIN clubs. Each county has at least one SPIN club, such as poultry, horses, robotics, shooting sports, and more. Traditional 4-H clubs are also available for kids to join.
Interested in beginning a club? There are just a few requirements to meet! You must be 18 or older, meet at least six times throughout the year, and complete the required training. Complete the contact form, and one of our 4-H staff members will be in touch.
