Inspire Kids To Do!

What IS 4-H?

4-H is a hands-on approach to learning new and exciting things all while making new friends.  Youth learn important life skills through completing and exhibiting 4-H projects and by attending club meetings, camps, workshops and so much more!
4-H is the youth program of Purdue University's Cooperative Extension Service.  Our mission is the education of Indiana citizens through application of the Land Grant University research and knowledge base for the benefit of agriculture, youth families, and communities.  Over 500 young people from Warrick County were club members last year and you can be one too!

Indiana 4H has decided to change from YQCA to Indiana 4H Quality Livestock Care for the 2023 fair season.  This decision was not made locally and we apologize for the quick notice, it was unavoidable.  The livestock care program is a mandatory requirement for all 4hers to show animals at fair.  Sorry, there are no exceptions!  Current YQCA certificates, if valid through July 22, 2023, will be accepted.  However, you must send a copy of your current certificate to the office.  You may email it to franz10@purdue.edu.

For those needing the training, you will find 3 events in 4H online that you may now go in and sign-up.  You only need to attend ONE.  Dates are March 28th, April 19th, and May 9th from 5PM to 6PM.
