If you are wishing to just attend state level events and not be apart of a club, that is okay as well, however, local scholarship opportunities will vary based on event. Instead of listing a club in the participation section you are will list Washtenaw County 4-H - General Experience instead. Youth will than be open to all the opportunities in the Washtenaw County 4-H Youth program, however, their won’t be any monthly meetings or club functions for them to attend. It would just be the trips, camps, county events, etc. in its place. Youth are able to join multiple clubs as well. For example, if a youth wants to be part of a community club and also a dog club.

2. Contact the Club

Families/Members wishing to join Washtenaw County 4-H are encouraged to contact the Club Coordinator/Administrative Leader listed in the club brochure.
