Howard County 4-H Clubs
The Howard County 4-H Program has a wide variety of clubs that meet in various locations across the county. Traditional age 4-H clubs serve youth ages 8-18 as of January 1st. Clover 4-H clubs offer programming for youth ages 5-7 as of January 1st. A youth must attend a club meeting to join the Howard County 4-H program.
To join a 4-H club, refer to the list below and find a few clubs that interest you. Contact the club leader to let them know you would like to attend their next meeting and to verify the meeting date, time, and place. Visit a few club meetings from different clubs to help you decide which club seems like a good club for you/your child. When you are ready to join, talk with the club leader about joining the club and they will provide you with all the necessary paperwork to complete to join 4-H. Youth can join 4-H anytime during the year; however, to participate in the Howard County Fair, they must be enrolled as a member by June 1st of the current year. If you have any questions, please contact the 4-H Administrative Assistant at 410-313-2707.
