It is free to join 4-H in Wayne County. All 4-H'ers must have a current enrollment form on file at the Wayne County Extension office. In addition, 4-H'ers who participate outside of the classroom meetings must have a 4-H Code of Conduct form on file.

Teen Leaders

Teen Leaders are truly life-savers for both staff, Project Club leaders, Volunteer leaders, and even counselors at 4-H events!  Having Teen Leaders in 4-H is important because they are closer to the younger youth ages and they can relate easier to younger members.  Do you think you have what it takes to help build and make the best even better?  Stop by our 4-H office today and find out when the next training is scheduled!
