There is a 4-H project for everyone

4-H Projects give you a hands-on way to find your "spark" - something that you enjoy doing and that interests you. You must choose at least one project when you enroll, however you can choose as many as you have time for . Projects can start at different times of the year and vary by club. Stay informed of new projects and events by attending your club meetings, reading the Youth Talk newsletter and following the state and Kings County social media channels.
