Berkeley County 4-H
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?
The first step is to create an enrollment in our ZSuite website (Think of it as creating a profile before you can order something online). Once the profile is created, the local 4-H office will approve it and you'll be a 4-H Member! If you have any questions while enrolling please visit ZSuite Help & Support or contact our office.

Fall 2022 Regional 4-H Volunteer Training Opportunities
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.
