4-H Clubs and How to Join 4-H

You can join 4-H if you are in grades 3 through 13. Clubs even accept members in Kindergarten, first and second grades in the Cloverbud programs.

In order to join here’s what you need to do:

1. First, select a 4-H club from the list below.  Feel free to contact more than one club and visit more than one club meeting to find one that meets your needs and interests.
2. Once you select a club, find the name and phone number for that club’s general leader.
3. Next, call the club’s general leader and find out more information about the club and its members. Most 4-H members join in the fall, but new members can join at any time. In order to show a project at the Iowa County Junior Fair, new members must join by April 1st of the current 4-H year.  Returning members must join by December 1st.
4. Then, attend the 4-H club meeting with your parents, fill out an enrollment form and elect your projects and get ready to discover what 4-H is all about! (The enrollment form and project guide can be picked up from the 4-H club’s general leader or at the Iowa County UW-Extension Office.) Information is also available at http://iowa.uwex.edu/4-h-youth-development/enrollments/ 
5. Parents can also sign up to be leaders! In order to be eligible, they need to have completed the
   Volunteer Orientation Process, filled out a 4-H Leader Enrollment Form, and signed the Volunteer Behavior Expectations Agreement.
