How Can My Child Join 4-H?Contact the Jefferson County 4-H/Youth Development Office at 569-2344. A 4-H Agent or leader will be in touch to give you additional information and to let you know about 4-H clubs/opportunities in your community or school. If there is not a 4-H Club in your community, with the help of a parent or other responsible adult, the 4-H office will work with you to organize a new club. At least one responsible adult volunteer is needed to start a new club. Being a 4-H member can cost very little. Each club decides whether they want to collect membership dues and, if so, how much to charge. Members may have to pay for supplies for 4-H projects but there are many low and no cost projects to make. Many times you can find what you need right around the home. Some trips, camps, etc. carry a registration fee. Four-H attempts to keep all fees as reasonable as possible and, when possible, offers scholarships for low income youth. See also:
