Merced County 4-H Community Club Leader Information
Local 4-H clubs offer programs tailored to the interests of youth in their communities. Each club is led by a team of adult 4-H volunteer leaders and run in partnership with youth members and elected youth club officers. Most clubs hold a monthly general meeting for all members, along with separate project meetings throughout the month. Youth members can choose from a variety of projects offered by different clubs based on their interests.
