REGION — The purpose of this virtual club is to provide new and potential members and their families a place to learn about 4-H and to connect youth across the state.

There is no cost, and meetings will help challenge you to create new goals and discover new passions. Open to youth ages 5-13, dates will be March 24, April 28, and May 26 at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
