Join a 4-H Club: Things to Consider

Before choosing a 4-H club, it's important for families to discuss their goals for participation, both now and in the future. Having a clear idea of the experience you're looking for can help you select a club that’s the best fit.Portage County 4-H Map

Here are some questions to think about: 

  • Do you prefer a club that's close to home?
  • How often can you commit to attending meetings each month?
  • What types of community service projects does the club participate in?
  • Would you prefer a larger club (20+ members) or a smaller one (around 10 members)?
  • Are there specific projects you're excited to focus on right now?
  • Are there other areas of interest you might want to explore later?

Our 4-H program offers a wide range of projects, so each club has its own unique focus. You can explore all project options in the Ohio 4-H Project Guide.
