4-H School Clubs and 4-H Afterschool Clubs

4-H partners with schools and youth serving organizations to offer programs during the school day or after. 4-H Classroom Clubs/Afterschool clubs allow students to explore one or multiple interest areas and have a flexible structure that is designed collaboratively to fit the partner site’s preferences.  

The basic requirements to have a school/after school club include: 

• At least 1 adult from the site to be the club lead. This can be a staff member, parent, or volunteer. 
• Space for the club to meet. 
• Five or more youth, from at least three or more families. 
• Meet a minimum of six hours per year. 
• Incorporate youth-adult partnerships and youth voice into the club structure. 

4-H staff will support the club and provide guidance, training for the adult lead, curriculum, resources (when available), and assistance where needed.
