A club is...
A 4-H club elects officers and conducts its own business. Most clubs meet monthly with an annual plan for their programs. Each meeting usually includes presentations by members. Meetings might also include presentations by leaders, parents, or a resource person, recreation, a family sharing night, or a field trip.
Many 4-H clubs also get involved in a variety of community service, social and fundraising projects. The youth in each club should decide the types of projects their club will do.
Most clubs charge dues or hold money-making activities to raise money for the club's events.
4-H members and their families are responsible for the cost of materials needed to complete their projects.
