Frequently Asked Questions
Question: How old does my child have
to be before he/she can join 4-H?

old. .
Question: What kinds of activities
are available for youth to join within the club?
Answer: El-Sereno
4H has several "projects" for youth to join each year. Projects are led
by an adult volunteer and often assisted by youth Teen and Junior
leaders who are building planning, communication and teamwork skills
along the way.
Question: How can parents of youth
become involved in 4H?
Answer: 4H is volunteer driven. Its
existence depends heavily on adult volunteers. Adult volunteers lead
projects, coordinate fund raisers, manage paperwork, chaperone 4H
events where youth are present, manage activities such as t-shirt
orders, 4H cap and scarf orders, coordinate our annual "Adopt a Family"
activity over the holiday season - to list a few. Some parents "job
share" with others which distributes the work and the reduces the time
commitment. Additional opportunities within 4H exist at the county,
sectional, state and national levels. There is no shortage of chances
to participate and contribute to 4H as an adult volunteer! And, it's a
great way to remain in step with your kids as they grow up in an
organization focused on teaching life skills and giving them chances to
apply them all year long.
