How to Join

How to Join 4HTake a look at us now and you’ll see a lot more than kids talking about the future – you’ll see them becoming the future.

4-H Programs are open to youth between kindergarten and one year following high school graduation. If you’re in grades kindergarten through second grade, you may participate in 4-H as a Cloverbud. Cloverbuds can participate in most 4-H projects and activities, including the county fair. The 4-H year begins in October, but enrollments are accepted throughout the year.

First you need to select a 4-H club that you’d like to join. We suggest that you visit a few clubs to see which is the best fit for you and your family.  If you haven’t done that yet, here is the link to 4-H Clubs page to see a list of Oconto County 4-H Clubs, their leader contact info, and meeting dates and times.  You may even want to call ahead of time to talk to the General Leader about the club, and to make sure that they haven’t changed their meeting time/date.

Still not sure about which club to join? Call the Oconto County 4-H Office at (920) 834-6845 or email Karen Behnke, Staff Assistant at karen.behnke@co.oconto.wi.us or Paula Huff, 4-H Youth Development Agent at paula.huff@ces.uwex.edu
