4‑H clubs are run by community volunteers and teach youth life skills around an array of project areas. Club members are youth who participate in long-term club programs and are considered a member in good standing by participating in county and level events including fair showcase, public speaking opportunities, and special events and workshops. Once youth are registered 4‑H members they are welcome to participate in county, state, and national 4‑H events.
