Join a
4 H Club

Joining a local 4 H Club would be one of the best things you could do for both you and your homeschool children. Visit the National 4-H website to find a club near you.

The purpose of our club had two main goals:

• To develop life skills in youth.

• To develop a servant's attitude toward the community.

Of course, we had fun! But our club went that extra mile to give without expecting anything in return. Below is a list of some of the things our club did.

(Taken from our local 4-H Family Times newsletter.) Your 4-H year always ends by completing a Record Book. It was not always the most fun thing to do, but it is a wonderful record of years of accomplishments. It has been a joy to flip through their record books. Without them I could not have made these web pages for you! Enjoy! Annette (11) with her Record Book Return from 4 H Club to 4 H Info Return from 4 H Club to Homeschool Rewards Home Page
