Collapse ▲4-H is open to youth ages of 5-18. It is the Cooperative Extension System’s dynamic and educational program for youth (Research impacts 4-H.)
4-H has about 6 million youth members across the United States. The name 4-H is summarized as the four-fold development of youth through the Head, Heart, Hands, and Health.
What youth do in 4-H
Young people complete hands-on projects in areas like healthy living, STEM, agriculture, and civic engagement in a positive environment, where they receive guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on leadership roles. Through these experiences, youth build life skills.

More about Enrollment
Enrollment in North Carolina 4-H is FREE! Some clubs may charge a small fee to purchase activity supplies, but often it is $10 or less per year. Similarly, certain countywide programs may charge a small fee.
We never want local fees to be a limiting factor for involvement. Because we are a member agency of United Way, we can support families wanting to join who need assistance. Again, contact Gabby Whorley, gabby_whorley@ncsu.edu, 828-757-1258 for details or to receive a fee waiver.
