MONROE - Creativity, curiosity, confidence, courage, compassion, resilience, teamwork ... these are all character and life skills that 4-H grows in youth, club officials say.
4-H is open to all youth in 5-year-old kindergarten through high school, whether they live in the city, village or country. Regardless of 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, the organization says.
Green County 4-H has 18 community 4-H clubs across the county. Families are invited to check out a couple of 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 to learn more about and potentially visiting.
4-H clubs in the Monroe and Browntown area include:
• Browntown Busy Beavers: Meets at 2 p.m. second Sunday at the Browntown Civic Center
• Cheese Country Clovers: Meets at 1:30 p.m. third Sunday at the Green County Justice Center
• Clarno: Meet at 7:30 p.m. third Tuesday at Staver Church from November to March and at the Clarno Forestry Center from April to October
• Hiawatha: Meets at 1 p.m. the third Sunday at the Green County Justice Center
• Stateline: Meets Sunday afternoons at Staver Church
• Young Americans: Meets at 6 p.m. the second Monday at St. John's UCC Fellowship Hall
Youth can join 4-H any time of year, but to show learning and projects at the 2017 Green County Fair, they must be enrolled by Nov. 1. The cost is an average of $15 per member per year; financial assistance is also available for families in need.
