What we do
4-H provides a safe and caring environment for young people to practice important life skills, make friends, and share their learning. Every 4-H’er’s journey is unique and catered to their specific interests.
Marion County boasts an expansive 4-H program that meets the interests of the young people in Indianapolis and surrounding towns. We have about 20 4-H clubs that are spearheaded by our passionate 4-H adult volunteers and offer over 60 projects for area youth. In addition to club and project activities, Marion County offers local, state, and national 4-H program opportunities.
