What is 4-H? 4-H is a fun, learn-by-doing educational program for young people. Its mission is to help youth become self-directed, contributing members of their communities. 4-H is open to all without regard to race, color, national origin, gender identity, religion, age, height, weight, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, marital status, family status or veteran status.
How old do you have to be to join 4-H? The St. Joseph County 4-H Youth Program is open to all youth 8 - 19 years of age by January 1 of the year they will exhibit their completed projects at the St. Joseph County Grange Fair.
