Getting involved with 4‑H is easy, and costs are kept to a minimum. 4‑H doesn't require a uniform, and there are no national fees. Children select their 4‑H education project so they can choose one that works well within a family's budget. 4‑H programs and clubs typically meet once per week or once per month, although some may choose to meet more or less frequently. 4‑H programs are available for children ages 8-18. 4-H Clovers programs are available for children ages 5-7.
