UF IFAS Extension Seminole County 4-H

Call Directions Website

UF IFAS Extension Seminole County 4-H Seminole County 4-H is a youth development program in partnership with Seminole County Government and University of Florida IFAS Extension.

In 4-H, youth explore their “sparks” and interests through fun, hands-on learning guided by 4-H volunteers. In 4-H we inspire kids to do through hands-on learning experiences guided by 4-H mentors in a safe and inclusive environment. Youth 5 - 18 years of age (as of September 1, 2021) may participate in 4-H clubs, camps, day camps, educational events, and career & leadership opportunities. 4-H Clubs are led by adult volunteers with meeting times and locations varied. 4-H members have the opportunity to participate in community clubs where they gain a specific skill set in a 4-H project, such as areas of leadership, community service, animal and plant science, food preparation, performing arts, and more. Find out more about 4-H by viewing our website: http://www.seminolecountyfl.gov/4-H
