4‑H, America’s largest youth development organization – empowering nearly six million young people with the skills to lead for a lifetime – has eight clubs in Lassen County, all with unique opportunities for kids.
For her Emerald Star Project, standout local 4-H and FFA member Katelyn Kirack is letting kids aged five to eighteen know that community service, public speaking and leadership are just a few of the many fun and educational activities that the Lassen County 4-H Youth Development Program offers its members while they compete, or participate, in county-wide events.
As part of her project she created a poster with information and a survey for potential members. You can click here to take the survey, which will also enter you in a contest to win a paid membership for the year.
When you join a community club, you can make new friends, learn about raising animals, be involved in making a difference in our community, learn public speaking and record-keeping skills, participate in the Lassen County Fair and 4-H camp, create things for everyone to enjoy, and go on exciting trips.
How do you join? There are eight 4-H clubs in Lassen County. Pick a 4-H club you would like to join, then contact a club leader, or stop by the 4-H Office at 707 Nevada Street.
There will be a special 4H Open House August 20th, from 4:40 to 6:00p.m., at the Tractor Supply Store on Main Street in Susanville. Members will be on hand to do demonstrations and answer questions about 4H.
