Frequently Asked Questions

When can my child join Clover Kids?

Youth can enroll in Clover Kids starting in Kindergarten. Once they finish 3rd grade, they can choose to enroll in 4-H. This also goes for our workshops and summer day camps that we hold every year.

Can Clover Kids join at any time?
Almost! Clover Kids must participate in at least four Clover Kids activities/meetings to participate in County Expo Fair activities. We encourage you to enroll early in the program year (September is the start of our program year.)
