Any youth ages 5-19. Adults are welcome and encouraged to attend meetings with their children.

What will happen at the 4-H meeting?

Meetings will be very much like they've already been, with the added business portion at the beginning. A typical 4H meeting allows 15-20 minutes for business, 30 minutes for education and project introduction, and 30-60 minutes working on a project and socializing. Projects are chosen by youth and leaders together!

Will we be participating in the fair?

We are super excited to be exhibiting at the Fowlerville Family Fair this year! Youth who are interested in participating in the fair are welcome to enter any project that they've made since 9/23 as an exhibit for our booth! We will also be working on club projects in May and June. Youth who participate in the fair are eligible to receive premiums for their projects. The Fowlerville Family Fair will be held July 22-27, 2024.
