Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Choose a project club from the county's club list, then contact the county 4-H educator at PhiladelphiaExt@psu.edu or 215-471-2200 to enroll. Enrollment is done online through the state 4-H enrollment system, or with the educator's help..

Check with the group before you show up. You need to sign up first.

What to expect

The pages do not describe a first meeting. The first step is a conversation with the county educator, who helps you choose a club and complete enrollment. Clubs are project based: Cloverbud activities for ages 5 to 7 are non-competitive, and members ages 8 to 18 can take part in competitive events.

Tips for your first visit

  • Call the county office before you go, since it is staffed remotely and closes from 1 to 2 pm.
  • Ask the educator about a club's meeting times and fees before you enroll.
  • If the fee is a barrier, ask about the financial help the program offers.
  • If your project is not offered, a new club needs at least five youth from two families and an adult leader, so ask the educator.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Open to all youth ages 5 to 18, with a clear enrollment path through the county educator. Enrollment and material fees come before the first meeting, and the pages do not describe a first meeting..
