4-H AGE is the age of the individual on January 1 of the current 4-H year.  Membership is open to all youth.  However, the maximum number of club member and types of projects offered will be established by the club leader.

Cloverbuds  5-7 years old

Juniors  8-11 years old

Intermediates 12-14 years old Seniors 15-19 years old 

Youth can begin to participate in 4-H first by filling out a simple form and choosing a project or projects of interest.  Second by belonging to a 4-H club within the county, and attending regular scheduled meetings. 

*Membership cannot be held in more than one county or state simultaneously.*

4-H is not only for youth, 4-H projects and clubs are made possible from the support of volunteers.  Adults can get involved in 4-H by becoming a club or project leader.  If you have a talent, or an interest in something and would like to help teach others becoming a 4-H leader would be a great opportunity for you!

Leaders are adults and teenage volunteers are backed by the Jerome County Extension Office and the University of Idaho Extension who provides training and project materials.

For more information, a complete list of available projects, or to sign up today as a 4-H member or leader, contact the Jerome County Extension Office at (208) 324-7578.
