4-H Clubs
4-H is one of the most powerful youth development programs in the world. 4-H has the ability to connect youth from all corners of a county, state, country, and globe. Our program opens doors for young people to experience new things, meet new people, forge relationships with caring adults, and have perhaps their first exposure to colleges and careers.  Washington County 4-H has 17 community clubs located throughout the county. Youth ages 8-18 may join as regular members and those ages 5-7 may join as clover members. Each member chooses the project areas in which they are interested.
