Grand County 4-H Youth Programs
... for my club, my community, my country and my world!
4-H Is...
A youth development organization for all kids from 3rd to 12th grades. It is a "learn by doing" organization where youth meet as clubs to do hands-on projects. Projects are chosen from over 100 project areas, or you can create your own project.
4-H clubs are organized by adult volunteer leaders. These leaders bring youth together who have common interests and enroll them as a club with the county 4-H office (USU Extension Office). Clubs meet together to explore 4-H activities, attend events, go on trips and have FUN!
4-H events happen year round. Some highlights in Grand County include science projects, state contests for high school 4-Hers, the county fair, sewing and babysitting camps, junior Master Gardener, ATV safety courses, junior livestock, horse shows, and teen council.
There are three types of 4-H clubs: family clubs, community clubs, and project clubs. In a family club, parents act as 4-H leaders and family members meet with a few friends to form a club and participate in 4-H projects and activities. In a community club, volunteers act as 4-H leaders to involve any youth interested. Clubs usually meet at set times and work on one or many projects together. Project clubs involve youth of similar ages working together on the same project area.
