Whether your child is interested in animals, STEM, sewing, or community service, there’s something for every age and interest — including Cloverbuds for ages 5–8 and teen leadership programs that help youth step into their potential.
Polk County 4-H is where kids explore their interests, build confidence, and grow into capable, curious young leaders. Youth ages 5 to 19 can join clubs, attend workshops and camps, and learn by doing in a safe, supportive environment. We’re also looking for adult volunteers — no teaching experience needed! If you have a hobby, a life skill, or just a little time to spare, you can help make a big difference for youth in our community.
