ABOUT US

From food science and robotics to fashion design and photography, there's a 4-H activity for everyone. Texas 4-H is a club for kids in 3rd-12th grade, with programs for K-2.

In 4-H, the activities are organized by topics and called ‘projects.’ All 4-H members must be enrolled in at least one project. When you choose a project, you will learn everything there is to know about that topic. You will participate in various hands-on activities, learn new skills, do community service, or even make speeches about your project. Browse the list of projects to see what you would like to do.

How to choose your 4-H project:

Select a project you like.
Select a project that can be completed.
Consider the money and time it will take. Can parents/guardians help?
Consider the space and equipment that you have at home.
A 4-H project should be fun, serve a purpose, and be worth the effort.
Select only the number of projects you can complete.
Contact your local county club to see which projects are offered where you live.
