Welcome to Nevada County 4-H
4-H is an organization for youth ages 5-18 that promotes hands-on, experiential learning. 4-H welcomes youth members and adult volunteers from all backgrounds and all locations. Members have the opportunity to participate in the 4-H program through after school programs, community clubs, camps, events, conferences and military partnership programs.
