4-H school programs are offered during school
hours and after school. 4-H in-school programs and
clubs typically run in conjunction with the school
year and meet during school hours. In-school 4-H
programs directly support school curriculum and in-
school 4-H clubs offer enrichment activities beyond
the classroom. 4-H after-school programs and clubs
meet after school hours (between the hours of 3:00
– 6:00 PM) in a school or other community center.
4-H after-school programs and clubs incorporate 4-
H curriculum. To find a 4-H after-school program or
club, please call 541-575-1911.
4-H clubs are available at the community, project,
or special interest group level.
Community 4-H clubs have a planned program
that runs throughout the year and focuses on a
variety of self-chosen learning experiences and
activities. Examples include photography,
robotics, gardening, animal science, ecology,
rocketry, textiles, and cooking. 4-H community
clubs typically meet in the evenings or on the
weekend.
Project 4-H clubs also provide planned programs
that run throughout the year and focus on one
project area. Project 4-H clubs typically meet in
the evenings or on the weekend. 4-H special
interest groups are short-term, focus on a specific
learning experience and are not limited to
members of 4-H clubs.
