Indiana 4-H Youth
The Indiana 4-H Youth Development mission is to provide real-life educational opportunities that develop young people who positively impact their community and world. Kindergarten thru 12th grade.
Pulaski County 4-H offers township clubs and project-based clubs. Township clubs are designed to keep you informed of all that is happening. These groups also help to build a sense of belonging and a 4-H community. Project-based clubs focus on a specific project area such as Horse & Pony, Dog, and Shooting Sports. These clubs gear their meetings toward learning about that specific project. We encourage people to choose a club based on location and time of meeting that best fits their schedule.
For information about 4-H call the Purdue Extension Pulaski County Office at (574) 946-3412.
Fair entry is open May 16th - June 8th
time for 4-H members to enter all their projects they are taking to fair and animals they are showing at the fair into fair entry!
