About 4-H

Oklahoma 4-H is dedicated to helping Oklahoma youth, families and communities reach their full potential.

Through our hands-on programming, projects and events, our members are making a tangible difference in their clubs, communities, state and world. Whether you enjoy working with animals, building robots, taking photographs, singing songs or even collecting bugs, Oklahoma 4-H has a place for you!

Our 4-H clubs are made up of a group of citizens often formed around schools, churches and community centers. 4-H members and their parents typically attend monthly meetings. Attendees can expect to discuss information regarding club business, recreation, educational programs and opportunities for every member to get involved.
