4-H Youth Development

4-H is the largest youth development program in the world. Youth in Madison County can get involved by learning a new skill in a project club, attending the Alpine 4-H Camp, or participating in day and project camps throughout the year.

4-H helps youth gain confidence, life skills and compassion and prepares them to be contributing members of their community.

4-H is open year-round to youth ages 5 to 18 without regard to race, creed, gender, marital status, handicaps or disadvantages, economic or ethnic backgrounds.

Participants age 8 to 18 are eligible for all 4-H programs, including competitive activities and events. Ages 5-7 are eligible to participate in Cloverbuds.

Individuals older than 18 who have special needs are eligible if they are still enrolled in high school.
