Welcome to Henderson County 4-H! We are glad to have you.
4-H encourages diverse groups of youth to develop their unique skills and talents to the fullest potential. Young people participate in 4-H through clubs, special interest groups, after-school programs, camps and many other activities. “Learning by doing” through hands on activities and community involvement empowers 4-H’ers to develop and strengthen life skills.
4-H is a unique educational program for students 4th-12th grade. It encourages youth to develop skills and their talents to the fullest! As 4-H members, they actively participate in activities, events, and projects that develop strong life skills. Youth participate in 4-H through school 4-H clubs, community clubs, special interest groups, after-school programs, camps and many other activities.
