Lapeer County 4-H Clubs

4-H is delivered by Cooperative

Extension—a community of

more than 100 public universi-

ties across the nation that pro-

vides experiences where young

people learn by doing. Kids complete hands-

on projects in areas like health, science, agri-

culture and citizenship, in a positive environ-

ment where they receive guidance from

adult mentors and are encouraged to take

on proactive leadership roles. Kids experi-

ence 4-H in every county and parish in the

country—through in-school and after-school

programs, school and community clubs and

4-H camps.

In 4-H, we believe in the power of young

people. We see that every child has valua-

ble strengths and real influence to improve

the world around us. We are Ameri-

ca’s largest youth development organiza-

tion—empowering nearly six mil-

lion young people across the U.S.

with the skills to lead for a life-

time. 4-H is also Michigan’s larg-

est youth organization with over

200,000 members.

To sum it all up, 4-H is a research-

based experience that includes a

mentor, a hands-on project, and a

meaningful leadership opportunity.

This is Lapeer County 4-H... What is 4-H?

Lapeer County youth ages 5-19 can join

one of many clubs located all over the

county. You do not need to own an ani-

mal or live on a farm to join 4-H! We

have many clubs that focus on non-

animal projects, such as archery,

shooting sports, crafts, sewing and fly

fishing.

It only costs $20 per year to join 4-H

beginning September 1, 2017—even if

you’re a member of more than one

club! Additional project supply costs

may vary, depending on the club.

Clubs must meet a minimum of 6 times

per year. The schedule and meeting lo-

cations are set by each club.
