How to become involved:
Youth
Becoming involved in 4-H is much easier than you may think. These are the basic requirements to be a 4-H member:
- School grade
Anyone in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade can become a 4-H member.
- Do you want to learn new things?
Activities that you participate in will challenge your skills, and you will learn from other kids and adults that truly care about you and what you learn.
Not much to it...simply have an interest in learning new things. Who do you contact? Since you're on line, let's visit the County Extension Office near you. Just give them a call or drop them a line. You will find extension staff to be some of the most helpful people around. They would love to hear from you!

If you have a specific interest in being a volunteer at the county level, feel free to contact your County Extension Office. Most counties have opportunities that last from single events to year long activities.
