Monongalia County 4-H Fun Bash

Interested in learning more about the 4-H program? Join us on October 9, 2022 from 3-5 p.m., at the Monongalia County Center at Mylan Park (pavilion in the back.) This event is free and is open to youth and families interested in learning more about the 4-H program in Monongalia County. Prizes and fun activity stations will be available and 4-H members can enroll in the club.

For more information, send an email to MonongaliaCountyExtension@mail.wvu.edu.

New 4-H Year, Club Information, and Age Policy

The new 4-H year begins on October 1. For those who have participated before with Monongalia County 4-H, your local agent will send instructions on how to re-enroll your child in ZSuite on October 1. Please do not try and re-enroll until after that date because you will just have to re-do it. 

We recommend you reaching out to your club leaders to see when their first meeting will be held. Monongalia County will hold a countywide Cloverbud (age 5-8) monthly meeting the second Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m., and a countywide teen leader club (ages 12 and up) that meets monthly on the third Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. at the Extension Office at Mylan Park. Both clubs will begin in October. 

Please contact the Monongalia County Extension Office if you have any questions. We are looking for teen and adult volunteers to assist with our Cloverbud club: please let us know if you are interested.

Part of the National Cooperative Extension System

All universities engage in research and teaching, but the nation’s more than 100 land-grant colleges and universities including WVU, have another critical mission: Extension. Extension means reaching out, and along with teaching and research land-grant institutions extend their resources, solving public needs with college or university resources through local programs. With more than 3,000 county offices in the USA, the National Cooperative Extension System is the local front door for many citizens to their state land-grant institutions.
