COLLEGIATE 4-H
Purdue Collegiate 4-H is a student-run organization that serves the local community, promotes leadership development, and assists the Indiana 4-H program. We also give students the opportunity to socialize with people of similar backgrounds and upbringings. We are the 4-H members you grew up with. It is basically all the fun of traditional 4-H without the projects.
We are excited about all of the activities that are being planned in Collegiate 4-H this year and hope you'll join us whenever your schedule allows!
4-H Club Officer Training
Purdue Collegiate 4-H members offer in-person and virtual 4-H Club Officer training sessions. Participants learn how to effectively complete their roles as 4-H club officers through practical examples.
