4-H Youth
The 4-H Youth Development Program helps young people grow to become productive citizens. We offer 4-H clubs/projects, and summer camp. Columbia County 4-H youth programs build leadership skills, communication skills, and citizenship skills!
Get involved
Youth in grades 4 through 12 can join in 4-H specific projects. We also have a program for youth in kindergarten to grade 3 (4-H Cloverbuds). Visit How to Join for more details, and call 503-397-3462. We'll be happy to connect you with 4-H clubs that have same project interests as your child.
