Stay-at-home directives led to the cancellation of the 2020 Ohio 4-H Conference, but now you can view sessions at home! More than 30 presenters recorded their videos on topics ranging from club activities to line dancing to career options. Find it here.
4-H Family
Now’s the Time to Enroll in Clermont County 4-H!
4-H enrollment season is here! Registration for the Clermont County 4-H program is due by March 15.
4-H gives youth a chance to pursue their own interests – from photography to computers to cake decorating, from building rockets to raising sheep. 4-Hers go places – to camp, to fairs, to state and national conferences and competitions. They learn to be leaders and active citizens.
Clermont County has nearly forty 4-H clubs, specializing in home economics, leadership, shooting sports and animal science. Through individual and group projects, 4-H instills integrity, service, leadership and personal growth in youth. To view a list of projects and resources, please visit projectcentral.ohio4h.org.
To be a 4-H member, a child must be age 8 and in the third grade. For younger children (age 5 and in Kindergarten), Clermont County offers a program called 4-H Cloverbuds. Cloverbuds participate in non-competitive activities exploring a variety of fun, hands on interest areas. Accommodations can be made for youth with disabilities through our Winning 4-H Plan.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
Thank you all for being key to our success. It was a pleasure to celebrate so many wonderful individuals, members, clubs and 4-H supporters at our annual 4-H Volunteer Appreciation Dinner. Congratulations to Sharon Francis, 4-H Volunteer of the Year and Clermont County Juvenile Court & Ohio State Highway Patrol Batavia Post, Friends of 4-H Award recipients!
