Get Involved

4‑H programs suit a variety of interests, budgets, and schedules. From in-school to after-school, camps to clubs, our 4‑H programs welcome all children who want to have fun, learn and grow. Based on their interests and guided by adult mentors, youth develop their own pathway in 4‑H. They select from a broad menu of local 4‑H programs. There are hands-on, learn-by-doing, opportunities for everyone.

Are you NEW to 4-H and interested in joining our Benton County 4-H Program? Please complete the 4-H Interest form so, we can learn more about your interests and find a club and project area that will be the best fit.

4-H CLUB PLACEMENT PROCESS:

  • Complete and submit the 4-H Interest form.
  • Your child's information will be provided to a 4-H contact leader (a volunteer position) whose club is accepting new members and whose project interests match the information submitted on the interest form.
  • The 4-H club leader will contact you via email to let you know about their club’s meeting times, dates, and location. Check your spam/junk mail.
  • Once you are connected with a 4-H club, the club leader will share with you the 4-H enrollment process. Instructions will be provided on how to enroll online and pay your enrollment fees online.
  • The 4-H year runs from October 1st through September 30th.

Please Note: There might not be a club available for your child. There may be some project areas for which there are no clubs currently available. If this is the case, we ask that you consider becoming a volunteer leader! Contact our office for more information on becoming a volunteer.
