A 4-H Club is a group of at least five youth, one or more adults, and
elected officers. The club should have a monthly business meeting to
discuss upcoming club and county events. Clubs may also choose to do
community service projects, have project meetings, or enjoy other fun
activities.
A 4-H Club meeting is where members learn to cooperate, to plan and
to achieve group goals. They learn to conduct business meetings in an
orderly manner. When learning is fun, enthusiasm is generated and results
are produced. 4-H meetings are held on a regular basis, usually once
a month.
With the help of the club leaders, members learn that leadership is
helping, not pushing and that a club leader is a special kind of leader
who helps the group develop goals and does what is necessary to achieve
them. The officers and members make the decisions and do the work. Volunteers
and parents are encouraged to join in the discussions, but are not permitted
to vote.
Clubs meet 9 - 12 times a year. The business part of each meeting should
be conducted using correct parliamentary procedure. It is important
that members attend the regular monthly meeting to be informed of all
club events and activities. Each club member should participate or have
a part during the meeting at least one time during the year. This participation
could be leading the pledge, making a report, leading recreation or
introducing the speaker.
Each club should conduct at least one community service project each
year and should participate in community and county activities. The
club should be represented in county-wide 4-H events such as camps,
fund-raising, and achievement events. Parents are strongly encouraged
to attend all 4-H club meetings and activities. Young children should
be encourages to take notes and be responsible for their own knowledge
of important dates and times of future events; at the same time, parents
should know what is expected and required from their child as well.
This only happens if there is strong communication directly after club
meetings and/or at least one parent or caregiver is at each meeting
to receive this information.
The 4-H club provides an opportunity for young people to learn various
life skills such as citizenship, communication, community awareness,
decision making and leadership in a group environment.
A member is considered in "good standing" and completed the
4-H year when he/she has attended at least 6 club meetings in that 12
month period.
