4-H Youth and Development

Our 4-H program provides a creative a supportive environment in which culturally diverse youth and adults can reach their full potential. Our local county 4-H program works to develop life skills to help young people become self-directed, productive citizens. We also work to empower adult volunteers who multiply the efforts of our local county Extension staff. Our 4-H youth development program is a dynamic non-formal education program. It provides opportunities for youth to learn life skills and gain knowledge while having fun. The life skills learned in 4-H enable youth to become productive, well-informed, self-reliant, responsible adults. The Sandoval County 4-H program consists of 8 traditional 4-H Clubs. These clubs meet once a month as a group and participate in many youth educational activities. To learn more about joining one of these clubs, please contact the Sandoval County Cooperative Extension Service for additional information.

Enrolling In Sandoval County 4-H

The Sandoval County 4-H enrollment period begins October 1st of each year and ends March 1st for youth ages 9-19. Children 5-8 years of age are encouraged to enroll in a special introductory program called “Cloverbuds�.

4-H is a family program and youth do not need to have an animal project to be in 4-H. The success of the program is in direct proportion to the family support of the youth’s involvement.
