Members
You may hear that 4-H is for kids who live on farms.
That was true in the past but now there are 4-H clubs all over the country, many in urban cities like El Paso.
Today's 4-H'ers are boys and girls between 9-19 years old.
Some live on farms and some in suburban neighborhoods and in cities.
They join 4-H because it's fun!
4-H provides opportunities to work and play with friends, to learn about and do interesting things and develop leadership skills.
Learn by Doing
The 4-H method is learn by doing.
Members learn by completing 4-H projects.
A project is an area of interest or topic that the 4-H'er wants to learn about.
Clubs participate in community service projects and other special activities for members.
4-H'ers learn leadership skills by participating in club planning, by being officers in their clubs, and older 4-H'ers act as teen leaders by assisting adult volunteers with projects and activities for younger members.
Every year, members are eligible for camps, contests, conferences and special events for 4-H'ers sponsored by the county, district, state and national 4-H organizations.
4-H events sponsors trips to Japan and Europe for those with international interests.
All 4-H activities are designed for learning by doing, but they are also designed to be fun.
