 4H is a youth program with more activities than you can imagine. 4-H has rural, suburban and urban kids that not only take part in the livestock area, but in foods and nutrition, dog care and training, sewing, arts and crafts, woodworking, and public speaking just to name a few.

In Merced County, grades 2-12+ are eligible to participate as Mini and regular 4-H member in clubs. 4-H members participate in events, contests, projects, exhibits, summer and winter camps, international programs, scholarships, and more. 4-H members can learn about leadership, learn new skills, and have the chance to participate in workshops, both county and state activities and more.

Many teens become leaders that help the younger and new 4-H members. There are special citizenship projects for Merced County, California, and Washington D.C. A positive attitude, the willingness to learn new projects, meet new people, and to do some type of community service and most of all have a big smile and have fun.
