This 4-H club membership is open to youth aged 8 to 18.  Youth 5 to 7 years of age may join the 4-H Cloverbud program.  This 4-H program focuses on leadership, citizenship and life skills.  

You may join at the U of I Extension office in Morris as each club in other areas determine how often it meets, the location of its meetings and the activities held during the meeting.

Youth may also choose to focus on a very specific project area and join a club specifically related to that one project, said Brooke Baker, U O I Extension Program Coordinator.  Robotic, photography, gardening, visual arts, and nutrition, are just a few of the popular topics for special interest clubs. One may also participate in 4-H through short term projects held during school or at after school youth organizations.

To learn more about 4-H and enroll your child one may contact:  John Davis or Brooke Baker of the U of I Extension in Grundy County.  They can be reached at 815-942-2725 or stop by the office at 4004 North Division Street in Morris.
