4-H Youth Program
The 4-H Youth Development Program is an educational youth program conducted by the University of California Cooperative Extension. The purpose of 4-H is to help young people discover and develop their potential and grow into competent, contributing, and caring citizens. Learn-by-doing activities, youth-adult partnerships, and research-based educational programs help young people enhance their leadership abilities and develop a wide range of other life skills including responsibility, community service, citizenship and critical thinking.
Hello Lassen County 4-H Families,
It is that time of year to enroll in the 4-H program. New this year, projects are not added to clubs for enrollment until an approved project plan has been received. So, if you are enrolling and don’t see a project that you thought would be offered, please contact your community club leader to see if it will be available this program year. Want to enroll in a countywide project. If the countywide project is not offered by a leader in your club you will need to add an additional unit that hosts the countywide project and then add the project. County wide project list is listed in Zsuite under announcements.
To enroll please enroll online through Zsuite: https://4h.zsuite.org Please make sure to complete all of the items and when finished submit your enrollment. Please remember that the health form does not like to load on some cell phones. You may need to enroll on a laptop or other type of computer.
