Join Jackson County 4-H!

We offer an abundance of educational, fun, and interactive programming for every interest! The process in becoming a 4-H member is as follows:

1. Choose a Club

Each club is different from one another, as they offer variety of projects, membership size, activity involvement and location. Attached is a club program brochure that goes over the clubs that are listed in Jackson County along with the contact information of the club's administrative leader. Clubs are located throughout Jackson County and are listed in the brochure by where they meet.

3. Sign Up in 4-H Online

Members wishing to enroll in 4-H, may do so through the 4honline enrollment system. For members who do not have access to a computer or the internet may fill out paper accommodations upon request.
