Who Can Join 4-H?

The 4-H Club Year is from July 1 to June 30.

Kings County youth who will be at least 9 years old by January 1 or in the 4th grade may join 4-H after the July 1 of the year prior to that January.  For example, a young person whose 9th birthday is in November may join anytime after July 1 or when the club begins to accept enrollment - usually in the early Fall.

A young person who is not yet 9, but has been promoted to the 4th grade may join after July 1 or when the club begins to accept enrollment - usually in the early Fall.  For home schooled youth, only the age criteria applies.

Older youth may enroll as 4-H members as long as they do not turn 19 before January 1 of the club year.

Some local 4-H clubs offer Primary Member programs for youth between 5 and 9 years of age. For Primary Member Information click here.
