Join the Club!

Texas 4-H is a club for kids and teens ages 5-18, and it’s BIG! It’s the largest youth development program in Texas with more than 550,000 youth each year. No matter where you live or what you like to do, Texas 4-H has something that lets you be a better you!

You may think 4-H is only for your friends with animals, but it’s so much more! You can do activities like shooting sports, food science, healthy living, robotics, fashion, and photography.

Look for 4-H clubs at your school, an after-school program, a community center, or even on base or through the reserves for military families.

Texas 4-H is part of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and the Texas A&M System. Founded in 1908, 4-H is the largest youth development program in Texas, reaching more than 550,000 youth each year.

Step 1 :

The first step to getting involved in 4-H is finding a club in your county that fits your location OR what you want to do! Hunt County 4-H currently has five active clubs. For a detailed listing of Hunt County 4-H clubs, please

Step 2 :

All 4-H members must be enrolled in one project. A project is the “activity” you choose to do in 4-H. We have resources to help you learn about the activity, and volunteers or your agent in your county will help guide you along, as well. There are opportunities like community service, leadership, and contests that can be associated with your project! Check out the project list to find what interests you.

Tips for choosing a project:

Select a project (or projects) you like.
Consider the money and time it will take. Can parents/guardians help?
Consider the space and equipment that you have at home.
A 4-H project should be fun, serve a purpose, and be worth the effort.
Select only the number of projects you can complete.
Contact your local county club to see which projects are already offered where you live.
