4-H Councils & Committees

Gratiot County 4-H councils and committees provide valuable guidance for our county 4-H program. Councils and committees all have open meetings and participation is highly encouraged. Serving on a council or committee is also a great leadership opportunity for youth members and adult volunteers.
