4-H Clubs in Waldo County

4-H Clubs are the most recognized and traditional form of 4-H. 4-H is the youth development education program of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension. 4-H participants range from ages 5 to 19 and, traditionally, organize themselves into 4-H clubs to support each other as they take on "learn-by-doing" projects.

The 4-H year begins on October 1 each year. At that time youth begin to enroll into existing clubs or new clubs. While it is possible to enroll in 4-H at any time during the year, the October 1 date provides a starting point to the year's activities.

Volunteers are at the heart of 4-H clubs. Our trained and certified volunteer leaders organize and help the youth club members to plan club events and to work on individual projects.

For more information please contact us at 1-800-287-1426 or jweaver@umext.maine.edu or jhaskell@umext.maine.edu

   4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills.
