4-H
4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship and life skills.
(Scroll down for recent announcements - last updated 5-15-08)
The 4-H Youth Development Program is the largest out of school youth
program in the U.S., with over 7 million members and 500,000 teen and
adult volunteers.
Montana 4-H projects are designed to help you:
- Get along with other people
- Make wise decisions and take responsibility for your choices
- Foster a positive sense of self
- Develop a sense of curiosity
- Acquire a concern for your community - local and global
In Missoula County, 478 youth are enrolled in the 4-H program. Every
4-H member belongs to a 4-H Club, and there are 17 clubs to choose from
in the County. There is no limit to the number of clubs operating, so
new clubs can be formed as well.
4-H Clubs have regular meetings and are run by elected youth
officers with the help of adult 4-H Volunteers. At club meetings,
Parliamentary Procedure is practiced, community service projects are
organized and accomplished, fundraising skills are learned, and fun
social events are held.
4-H youth must be 9 years of age during the 4-H year (October 1st to
September 30th). A variety of project areas are available. Please refer
to the 2006 Montana 4-H Clover (the Project selection guide) for details, or contact the Extension Office for a copy of the 2007 Clover.
To find out more about how to become a 4-H Member, contact Campbell or Colleen at the Missoula County Extension Office. After October 10th, 2007, please read this letter, then email Campbell or Colleen
about the specific information you would like for us to send you.
