Welcome to 4-H in Butler County - Kansas

4-H is a research-based experience that includes a mentor, a hands-on project, and a meaningful leadership opportunity. 4-H clubs foster a variety of interests and activities. It’s based on their interests and guided by adult volunteers. They select from a broad menu of 4‑H programs and projects. There are hands-on, learn by doing, opportunities for everyone!

Clubs meet monthly; at the meeting, they make group decisions about community service, hear presentations from guest speakers and other 4-H members, and learn about leadership, citizenship and public speaking. Additionally, the non-competitive 4-H Cloverbud program is offered to youth ages 5-7.

4-H is a nationwide program. Each of the four H's of the clover represent ways youth can grow and develop.

Head, critical thinking, problem solving;

Heart, self-discipline, integrity, communication;

Hands, serving others;

Health, choosing healthy lifestyles.

4-H Motto:

To Make the Best Better

4-H Colors:

The 4-H colors are green and white. Green is nature's most common color and represents youth, life and growth. White symbolizes purity and high ideals.
