About 4-H
What is 4-H?
Ok, so specifically, the 4 "H"'s stand for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health, but the 4-H program is much more than that. 4-H is a youth development program for youth ages 5-18. Calhoun County 4-H strives to meet the needs and interests of the youth of our county. If there's one thing we've learned, it's that if you can dream it, and it's legal, 4-H can make it happen!

What is a 4-H club?
A 4-H club is a group of five or more youth guided by one or more adult volunteer leaders. No matter the size, a 4-H club usually concentrates on one or more projects such as gardening, woodworking, small animals, food and nutrition, livestock, photography, etc. 4-H club members build leadership by electing officers and conducting their own business meeting; work together on community service activities; meet new friends; and most important, have lots of fun!
