Annual enrollment for 4-H continues through the end of the month. Starke County Extension Director and 4-H Youth Development Educator Elisabeth Smith says it’s a youth enrichment program for youngsters in grade school through high school.
“Our traditional 4-H program starts in 3rd grade and goes until a member is in 12th grade or 10 years. Prior to that, in order to introduce the kids and get them excited about 4-H, we have what’s called “Exploring 4-H.” That’s for our youth in kindergarten through 2nd grade,” said Smith.
