4-H Club Resources
Hillsdale County 4-H Clubs
Wherever you live in the county, there’s a 4-H club or program designed for you to explore, discover, and grow. Our community club leaders cultivate a community of learners who connect with life-long friends, develop personal standards, and contribute to the lives of others. 4-H club members, aged 5 to 19, engage in positive, hands-on, and fun educational opportunities throughout the year.
