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.

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.

Volunteers are strongly encouraged to attend these trainings to gain new skills and learn how to restart/start 4-H clubs. This session will provide grab 'n' go training resources and curriculum you can use in working within the 4-H youth program. The training will also focus on building relationships between 4-H volunteers and Extension educators. We are excited to come back together to learn, socialize and recognize our excellent volunteers that support our youth.
