4-H
club work has something for everyone--more than 130 projects from
which to choose! Membership in Pend Oreille County clubs is open
to children ages 5 through 19. Traditional clubs are organized and
managed by volunteer adult leaders who work with the WSU County
Extension Office to teach life skills education through 4-H project
work. Learning life skills helps club members become competent,
contributing adults. The most popular projects in Pend Oreille are
horses, photography, and arts & crafts.
Clubs located
in all parts of the county make membership convenient. Enrollment
in 4-H occurs annually from October 1 through September 30. The
results of 4-H project work are frequently seen at the county fair
in August.
If
you are interested in forming a new 4-H club, or would like additional information on 4-H programs, please contact Lisa Hemphill at lhemphill@wsu.edu or call the Extension
Office at 509-447-2401. |
