Exploring Electricity Workshop

Join the Rock Island County 4-H Teen Federation for an exciting and educational experience at the Exploring Electricity Workshop! This hands-on workshop is designed for kids ages 8 to 18, offering a unique opportunity to learn about the basics of electricity. Participants will explore how circuits work and understand the roles of conductors and insulators. Additionally, they will create a project that can be showcased at the 4-H show at the fair.

The workshop will take place on Saturday, January 25th, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Rock Island County Extension Office, located at 321 2nd Ave, Milan, IL. The registration fee is $5 per family (fee waivers available upon request.)  Sign up here 

Don't miss out on this fun and educational event! Mark your calendars and join us for a morning of discovery and creativity. For more information or to register, please contact the Rock Island County 4-H office. We look forward to seeing you there!

4-H Shooting Sports

Young people can build their marksmanship skills as a member of our 4-H Shooting Sports program. We provide a supportive environment in which our members can experience hands-on, fun learning experiences. The program instills a love of outdoor sportsmanship while also teaching safe and responsible handling and use of equipment. 

Share your talents with the next generation! 
We are currently looking for additional shooting sports, and Hunting and Outdoor instructors. If you are interested in volunteering or have questions about the program, contact: Coach Bill Peterson @shootyssa@gmail.com or call 309-945-2108.
