Announcements (click) updated:  06.03.2010

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, 441 Youth are enrolled in the 4-H program.  Every 4-H member belongs to a 4-H Club, and there are 14 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, 2009 - September 30th, 2010). A variety of project areas are available. More information is available online at the Montana 4-H website.

To find out more about how to become a 4-H Member, contact Campbell or Colleen at the Missoula County Extension Office.  Please read this letter, and then email Campbell or Colleen about the specific information you would like for us to send to you.
