4-H Club & Member Resources

The flagship of 4-H is the traditional club program where youth receive guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on leadership roles. Clubs have regular meetings and most clubs learn at least one project together. Independent members learn with their families at their own pace. 4-H offers a wide variety of opportunities for you to discover your world, your community and yourself. YOU make your own choices and set your own goals!

Seeking Photos of 4-H Clubs and Members

Families and club leaders are encouraged to take photos throughout the year of meetings (virtual or in-person), community service projects and youth working on projects. You may find these photos valuable for your own use. Lancaster County 4-H would like to use these types of photos in the multimedia presentation at Achievement Celebration, the Year in Review video and other promotional uses. If you are willing to share, please upload to http://go.unl.edu/Lan4HPic. Please name the file with the name of the club (if applicable) and who uploaded the file. Note: Image permission is needed for identifiable youth — please ensure parents/guardians gave consent by agreeing to "Photo Release" on 4hOnline.
