4-H Federation is the banding together of youth, 13 years old or 8th grade and above, from different clubs into one representative group. Leadership training, decision making, county event planning, and socialization are the focus of Federation members. This is a great opportunity to gain skills for future college and scholarship applications, as well as to build a resume.

If this sounds like a fit for your child, we would love to have them join Bureau County’s 4-H Federation for a fun-filled year!  The following dates and locations are currently scheduled activity dates through the end of 2022.

October 12th - 5:30 - 6:30 pm: U of I Extension, Princeton
