​4-H Club FAQ's

Where do 4-H clubs meet?

Any place large enough that is convenient for members of the group. Clubs meeting happen in leaders’ or members’ homes or in central places such as schools, Cooperative Extension Education Center, churches, libraries or community rooms.

What do 4-H clubs do at a meeting?

4-H clubs usually do four general kinds of things: project work, business meeting, recreation or social activities and special interest programs.

How often do 4-H clubs meet?

Regular meetings are determined by the club members and the leaders. Generally clubs will have business meetings once a month and project or activity meetings more often. Some clubs prefer to meet every other week or once a month. Some clubs meet throughout the year, while others meet for only part of the year.

How are 4-H clubs run?

Business meetings are run according to Parliamentary procedure. This offers the young 4-Hers a good founding in participating and running meeting. Recreation and refreshments make meetings fun.

What about officers?

4-H clubs may have officers. The 4-H office provides helpful materials for presidents, vice-presidents, secretaries, treasurers, news reporters, recreation leaders, and historians. It is a good idea to wait until the second or third meeting to elect officers, when members have gotten to know one another.
