Want to Join a 4-H Club?

Anyone between the ages of 9 and 21 can join 4-H with a parent or guardian’s permission. Younger kids, ages 5–7, who are interested in the practices of 4-H can start in the Cloverbud Program, which focuses more on fun and social activities that set the stage for future learning.
There are 23 Berkeley County 4-H clubs - Maybe one of them is a club perfect for your family! There is no fee to join 4-H, but there may be fees associated with some projects and events. Enrollment for Berkeley County 4-H begins on October 1 (the beginning of the new 4-H year) and is open year-round.

Due to privacy concerns, the names and email addresses for club leaders are not published. Please get in touch with the Berkeley County office at 304-264-1936 or via email for Club Leader contact information.

Ready to Register & Join 4-H?

There are 4-H volunteer training opportunities scheduled around the state from late August through early October. A meal and 4-H club ideas (with supplies!) will be provided to each participant.

This session will provide grab 'n' go training resources and curriculum you can use in working within the 4-H youth program.
