What is 4-H

Dubois County 4-H offers projects for children in grades 3-12 and supports Mini 4-H in children in grades K-2.

4-H prepares young people to be leaders in their community and around the world through hands-on experiences alongside their peers and caring adults. Community clubs, afterschool programs, school enrichment, camps/workshops, and special interest programs are all ways youth across Indiana can be involved with the 4-H program.

Club membership is not required in order to participate in some 4-H programs offered throughout the year.

Dubois County 4-H Council is responsible for the county 4-H program including the 4-H Fair. The size of this task requires the assistance of volunteers. However, the Dubois County 4-H Council and/or any sub-committee thereof has the final decision and authority on all issues pertaining to 4-H projects and events of the 4-H program. The Dubois County 4-H Council reserves the right to not display any exhibit that may be deemed inappropriate for the fair-going audience.

Project manuals are no longer required for completion of any 4-H project, but they are still available. Not all projects have manuals. You can check them out like a regular library book at all Dubois County libraries. We will also have a lending library at the Extension Office. Please do not write in or in these books. Treat them like a library book for someone else to use after you.

If you prefer a book of your own, you can order at Shop 4-H Curriculum.

We also have Livestock Resource Books at all libraries and here at the office in our lending library. If you prefer a book of your own, you can order at https://extensionpubs.osu.edu/4-h/animal-sciences/
