Nebraska Extension in Greeley, Howard, Sherman and Valley Counties reminds area residents that this is a good time to enroll in 4-H. Young people, ages 5-18, join 4-H to learn leadership, citizenship, and life skills through a learn-by-doing approach. In Nebraska, 4-H is present in ALL 93 counties across the state! 

Traditional clubs, individual membership, camps, school enrichment, and programs/events are all ways youth across Nebraska can be involved with the 4-H Program. Projects in the area of robotics, computers, healthy eating, fitness, meal preparation, rocketry, clothing care and construction, first aid, woodworking, animals, plants, gardening, public speaking, and many others, develop skills needed for a positive and successful future.
