Many doors open for youth who join the 4-H Program. Although Laura Rohlf, Program Coordinator, 4-H  Youth Development is available to assist youth and their parents in getting them enrolled, below are some basic steps to complete in order to join 4-H in Henry County...

1. Review the listing of the 4-H clubs available in Henry County. Youth may join any of the 28 4-H clubs in the county. Some clubs may focus on specific 4-H projects (for example shooting sports or horses) that members complete while others may be more generalized (meaning members may take any of the 200 4-H projects available). Some meet consistently by day/time of the week or month or fluctuate according to club member schedules. I encourage parents and their children discuss what the child's goals are in taking a project/s and contact the organizational advisor of the clubs that look of interest to the child. Some basic questions you may want to ask are:
           *Where does the 4-H club meet? Is it close enough for you to transport
             your child/ren easily; can you carpool with other members?
           *When does the club meet? Day, time, frequency are all important factors.
           *What are the club advisor's expectations?
           *What is the primary focus of the club? Example: Shooting Sports, clothing,
                                                                                                  livestock
           *Does the club have dues? 
           *Is the club actively involved in the community it is a part of?
