4-H is a national youth organization that prepares young people to step up to the challenges in their community and the world.
Young people who are a part of 4-H have the opportunity to explore all types of science, health, and citizenship programming delivered through 4-H clubs and camps, as well as afterschool and in-school.
In North Carolina, you can join 4-H if you are between the ages of 8-18. Some areas have special age-appropriate programs designed especially for younger kids. Check with Swain County Cooperative Extension office to find out what projects and activities are available for youth your age.
