HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED? Project clubs concentrate on one project at a time, such as gardening, woodworking, karate, photography, shooting sports, skiing, foods and more. It just takes a caring adult who is willing to share time and talents with interested youth and meet for at least one hour, six times a year. Community clubs offer a variety of projects as well as opportunities for youth and adults to share what’s being learned and work on community service and other activities that bring together members of all the different projects to work on common goals. • 4-H afterschool clubs offer a 4-H club experience in afterschool programs. • 4-H offers enrichment activities that are hands-on, fun and engaging and teach life skills. • Military 4-H programs support military youth on and off installations

The mission of Alaska 4-H is to empower youth to reach their full potential by working and learning in partnerships with caring adults. We believe every child should have the skills to thrive in life, community and career.

• SPIN – (SPecial INterest Clubs) offer do-ityourself, at-your-own pace projects to learn on your own or in small groups — perfect for areas where 4-H clubs may not yet be offered. • School Enrichment Opportunities offer handson learning as part of special or regular classroom projects within the school. These may be short-term or long-term projects. • 4-H camps offer day or residential camps full of fun learning and recreation opportunities.
