Our Goals are to develop leadership and responsibility while learning to live and work with others. Through 4-H you’ll acquire knowledge and skills to explore future careers, and you will achieve a great deal of satisfaction from your work and accomplishments. Most of all 4-H strives to help develop a positive self-image and good Citizenship. Our Motto is “To Make the Best Better”. There are many ways to become involved in 4-H.

One way to become involved is through membership in a club program. Many projects are available. A project is: 1) planned work in an area of interest to you, 2) guided by a volunteer who is your project leader, 3) aimed at planned objectives that you can attain and measure, and 4) summarized by some form of record keeping. Community Clubs have many exciting activities also. The clubs are led by parents and community volunteers who enjoy working with young people.
