A 4-H Club is an organized group of at least five youth from three different families who meet regularly with adult volunteers or staff for a long-term, progressive series of educational experiences. The purpose of a 4-H club is to provide positive youth development opportunities to meet the needs of young people to experience belonging, mastery, independence, and generosity—the Essential Elements—
and to foster educational opportunities tied to the Land Grant University knowledge base. For more than a hundred years, 4-H has been dedicated to creating opportunities for youth that broaden skills and aspirations nurturing the full potential of youth.
Hyde County 4-H offers various clubs each year and are always searching for new 4-H Club Leaders to offer new, unique experiences for our youth. If you are interested in joining a Hyde County 4-H Club please complete the interest form below. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call the Hyde County Cooperative Extension Office (252) 926-4487 or email your 4-H Extension Agent, Lee Brimmage at lee_brimmage@ncsu.edu.
