MONROE — Creativity, Curiosity, Confidence, Courage, Compassion, Resilience, Teamwork…these are all valuable character and life skills that 4-H grows in youth. Join a local 4-H club and grow with us!

4-H is open to all youth in 5-year-old kindergarten (5K) through high school, whether youth live in the city, village or country. No matter what a youth’s gender, race, ethnicity, creed or ability, 4-H offers the opportunity to have fun, learn new things, meet others, and be active in community service. Interested in joining?

Green County 4-H has 17 community 4-H clubs across the county to choose from. Families are invited to check out a couple different clubs before selecting a club that best fits their family’s schedule, location and interests. Get started by contacting the Organizational Leader(s) of clubs that you are interested in learning more about and potentially visiting. 4-H clubs in the Monroe and Browntown area include Browntown Busy Beavers, Cheese Country Clovers, Clarno, Hiawatha and Young Americans.

Youth can join 4-H any time of year, but if you want to be able to show off your learning and projects at the 2021 Green County Fair, you will need to be enrolled in a 4-H club by December 1st. The financial cost of becoming a 4-H members is extremely minimal, at an average of only $15 per member per year; financial assistance is also available for families in need.
