4-H Youth Development
About Fayette County 4-H
The Fayette County 4-H program is dedicated to providing boys and girls (Grades 5th -12th) opportunities to learn leadership, citizenship, 
and life skills.
Youth in the Fayette County 4-H program are given a chance to "learn by doing" through project work, classes, workshops, judging events, camps and other learning activities.
Our 4-H Clubs include...
- Junior Master Gardener (3rd-5th Grade)
- Club Green (5th-8th Grade)
- Senior Council (9th-12th Grade)
Our Charter Clubs include
- Horse Club (Age 9- 12th Grade)
- Shotgun Club (7th- 12th Grade)
- Rifle Club (Age 9- 12th Grade)
We also have In-School Science Enrichment programs as well as a developing Home School program. Please click on the links for more information.
4-H participants have the opportunity to share the skills and knowledge they've gained through county, district, state and national competitive events and, when elected, to serve on county, district and state governing boards.
Extension agents and 4-H program assistants work closely with adult volunteer leaders, school personnel, parents and other resource people in providing quality 4-H and youth programs and activities for Fayette County.
